Amazon.ca: Man and Nature: The Spiritual Crisis in Modern Man: Books: Seyyed Hossein Nasr (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02) |
 | | Rather than being rooted in the unified outlook of traditional man along with his religious traditions, modern man sees the world through the eyes of a crass materialism, scientism, and positivism. |
 | | Here it is necessary to understand the limitations of science, particularly as they apply to its application, which is at the root of the ecological crisis in modern man. Next, Nasr turns to the historical roots of science in Greek and Christian philosophy and theology. |
 | | What is left is man at the center of the universe, who becomesthe object of unconditional worship, and to him is given the ritualsacrifice of nature. |
