    Hi All

    I'd like to recommend 2 books to MOQers:

    Richard Tarnas: Passion of the Western Mind, 2,500 years of the history of
    ideas told from the perspective of the rise and fall of dualism. Writes about
    the anti-dualism of Hegel, Schelling, Coleridge, Bergson, Whitehead,
    Jung, Heidegger, Barfield, Goethe, Bergson, Teilhard,
    and good chapter on the conceptual crisis of modrn science.

    Arthur Gibson: God and the Universe. Nothing to do with religion but anti-secular. Entirely about the philosophy
    of science and an attempt to go beyond post-modernism with an interesting challenge to Rorty.
    Puts forward a position of transcendental realism, where the transcendental is the context in which
    we can make sense of science, knowledge, experience. This ends up sounding very much like DQ
    and would be of interest to any MOQers who have to argue a lot with post-moderns and Rorty fans.
    He also suggests the possibility of a cultural renaissance made possible by the current cultural position.
    Very strong on current state of science, role of beauty and aesthetics in science, metaphorical nature
    of conceptual r/evolution, etc.

    regards
    David M
