The book to have when stranded on a desert island,
By matters@source01.globalnet.co.uk (England) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Trialogues at the Edge of the West: Chaos, Creativity and the Resacralization of the World (Paperback)
I can't get through one page of this book without my head exploding with new ways of looking at the world and the people who inhabit it. Not a book to read cover to cover, but one to constantly pickup and top up your quest for understanding. Way ahead of it's time.

Sometimes chewy, sometimes fluffy,
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Trialogues at the Edge of the West: Chaos, Creativity and the Resacralization of the World (Paperback)
As expected, nothing is out of bounds in this book and these three exciting minds careen into all sorts of spaces. Thankfully, they don't pull their punches and this sets up a very discernible edginess to their "trialogue" that helped dispel how much a marketing gimmick this book might be. It's not. They all take turns in the spotlight though and the responses are often so thoughtful that, if they did not rehearse answers, then you realize these guys are truly gifted thinkers.McKenna fans will see some sides of the man that don't typically come out in his monologues or books. They only added to my appreciation of him. I found the book difficult at times, sometimes because of the far-out topics and sometimes because I did not have the mathematics / physics / anthropology / psychedelics / morphogenetics / art / philosophical / etc. (you name it) grounding to keep up. Going back and reading just one chapter gives me new insights over intial readings, almost guaranteed. An ASC (P. cubensis?) reading would quite probably also prove beneficial.

Visonary Musings,
By Kushka53 "journalist" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Trialogues at the Edge of the West: Chaos, Creativity and the Resacralization of the World (Paperback)
Written in the early 90's, this book still holds up almost 2 decades later. It's a great introduction to certain aspects of philosophy of science, and along with books by neuroscientist/philosopher Antonio Damasio, should give the reader a good window into the 21st Century of thought. Highly recommended.
