An evening launch of Oliver Robinson' new book at Swedenborg Hall in London last week.
Paths Between Head and Heart explores the idea that science and spirituality are complementary forms of knowing and experiencing the world. Their relationship can be characterised through seven pairs of opposites: outer/inner, impersonal/personal, thinking/feeling, empirical/transcendental, mechanistic/purposive, verbal/ineffable, explanation/contemplation. Science emphasises the first term in each pair, while spirituality emphasises the second. Between each pair of opposites runs a continuum or ‘path’, and in the middle of this continuum, science and spirituality overlap and interact. I provide a number of examples of this kind of interaction.
