Product Description
Book Description
Mapping Reality is a critical perspective on science and religion, and specifically on faith (religion and science) and rational thought (science). Science gives us scientific ‘facts’, and religion supply us with religious ‘truths’- however what can we accept confidently as ‘really’ true. Mapping Reality is an endeavour to illustrate (by means of examples) how inadequate human thought and senses are, and how humans never truly can understand reality. Absolutely everything we know is based on faith. We must clearly distinguish between reality (the territory), and what we perceive to be reality (the map of the territory)! In our journey through life, we need something to guide us, to give us reassurance that we are on the right tract. Modern science has done its best to take that reassurance away from us; telling us that there is no destination, no purpose in life; that our lives are an accident of ‘Nature’. Organised religion is also not helping anymore; it has become dogmatic, sectarian, and self-serving. We have lost the core, the real message, of religion, but we still need true spirituality; we need a map to the Truth.
From the Publisher
"In this amazingly comprehensive and thoroughgoing work, Dr Willie Maartens has produced a remarkable piece of work and I applaud his insights. He has certainly adjusted my own map of reality, or shall I say adjusted my perspective of it! Indeed, the major contribution to learning by Dr Maartens’ book is that it tells us not to confuse our own personal maps of reality with the actual world, or reality, in which we live, move, and have our being. If anything, this book takes off one’s blinkers — or at least makes one seriously think about taking them off and re-adjusting one’s perspectives."
Quoted from the foreword to Mapping Reality by:
Dr. Charles Muller, MA (Wales), PhD (Lond), DLitt (OFS), DEd (SA)
