Archetypal Cosmos Rediscovering the Gods in Myth Science and Astrology Author:Keiron Le Grice "Le Grice has a gift, perhaps even a genius, for extremely clear assessments, expositions, and formulations of complex ideas--all grounded in a deeper vision of things, which makes this clarity possible." --Richard Tarnas, author of The Passion of the Western Mind "A fantastic achievement, combining complex theories from leading figures in ps... more »ychology and the physical sciences. The Archetypal Cosmos is destined to be an essential element in the contemporary planetary canon." --Brian Swimme, California Institute of Integral Studies The modern world is passing through a time of critical change on many levels: cultural, political, ecological, and spiritual. We are witnessing the decline and dissolution of the old order and the tumult and uncertainty of a new birth. Against this background is the urgent need for a coherent framework of meaning to guide and to lead individuals and society beyond the growing fragmentation of culture, belief, and personal identity. Keiron Le Grice asserts that developing insights of a new cosmology can provide this framework to us discover an underlying order that shapes our life experiences. In a compelling synthesis of ideas from the seminal thinkers of depth psychology and new paradigm sciences, The Archetypal Cosmos positions the new discipline of archetypal astrology at the center of an emerging worldview that reunifies psyche and cosmos, spirituality and science, and mythology and metaphysics to enable us to see mythic gods, heroes, and themes in a new light. The author draws especially on the work of Jung, Joseph Campbell, Richard Tarnas, Fritjof Capra, David Bohm and Brian Swimme. Heralding a "rediscovery of the gods" and passage into a new spiritual era, The Archetypal Cosmos presents a new understanding of the role of myth and archetypal principles in our lives, one that could give a cosmic perspective and deeper meaning to our personal experiences.« less
