En estas páginas se señala la postura de muchos académicos de ver sus áreas del saber con fronteras inamovibles o naturales, sin pensar que son producto de situaciones y de coyunturas precisas, por lo que sus límites son arbitrarios; esa idea está en consonancia con la rigidez del curriculum universitario. El espectro del conocimiento se concibe como un conjunto de compartimientos que no se pueden franquear. Llamar disciplinas a las materias...

About the Book I was eighteen years old when I entered college. Fifty-six years later I found out my mother kept all my letters from my freshman year of college, thirty-seven in all. The letters, like the Phoenix, deserve to soar again. If you are a baby boomer, perhaps these letters will evoke memories of your sixties. Starting with Letter One, I am sharing all thirty-seven letters, printed exactly as they were written in 1964–'65. Warts and all....

Then he situates worldviews in the larger context of a lived faith. Finally, he explores the organic connections between worldview and...

They call me Intelligence. I float in weightlessness, bathed in the cosmos. I feel content here, yet I want to understand my true nature.
So let me detach myself from my human roots to take stock of what we have accomplished together. For millennia, we have been a team. Together, our knowledge has accumulated, making us universally privileged with an awareness that we are gods in the natural world.
I will tell you what's needed to carry our partnership...

Why anything exists is answered. Some illustrations.To comprehend the Cosmos, one must, hence,Find the why and how of its existence,For, incomplete answers will never dress,Invariably wrong, by incompleteness.Forever Stuff could not have been always,For then there is no reason for its plays,Its total amount, and its certain stance;It had to be created, in balance.

Very large compilation of universal investigations of being and the Cosmos. A few color illustrations.The 'false' and melted vacuum was liquid energy-Unstructured, unordered, and going nowhere,But, then, inexplicably, it 'fell',As from a kind of 'shelf'…Whirling, twirling and swirling inwardUntil there was no more inward left.It 'thought' that its future could never be,That its quality was but writtenOn the water and the windWith a feathery quill,Whose...

Einstein was right about the Block Universe, as all at once, but there is a more to it, of there being no absolutes, everything relative to but itself, and so it cannot be affected by anything outside of it, and, it, thus, just is, making it eternal, with infinite scenarios, one of which is ours. The key, as it turns out, is for 'time' to be able to progress, and that is of the initial, extreme grouping order of the Beginning of time as drawn by the...

Does anyone still remember how we anticipated the future when we were younger? We were fascinated with new technology, Sci-Fi and space travels. Here we are now, in the future, which turns out to be not so much like the future we have been looking for. We were once told that technology would make our lives easier and better, so we would have more time for ourselves.
What has happened to that promise?
If we are not careful humanity is steering...

Morality in the West is often dismissed as trivial and outdated. Concepts of good and evil are highly susceptible to interpretation, with ethics preferably set aside so as not to unduly encroach on our daily pleasures. One of the most ill-considered, unpopular, yet underrated aspects of Western society is the diminishing role of conscience. Though conscience belongs to the mechanisms governing our behaviour, its importance should not be underestimated....
