A pearl of philosophic insight into so called ordinary life!
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 25 years ago
In this book, based on talks given to Swedish students, Anthony Damiany gives views on almost any everyday problem adressed by students, as well as in-depth probings of difficult philosophical and mystical topics. What is best about the book is that Damiany's replies are in plain language, and often very humourous too. Relieving is the absence of "New age" jargon. Instead the book is suffused with serious considerations on the challenges of being alive, not pointing out "easy answers", but provoking more questions instead. Damiani is familiar with the great traditions - philosophic, religious, and mystical - of the ancients, as well as modern applications of them. He ranges freely from Platonism, Neoplatonism and Christianity to Hindu thought, Buddhism and Taoism, among other traditions. Psychological issues are also adressed, as well as astrological. A book of rare width, combined with real depth. A "must" book for both the layman and the seroius quester!
