Culture of Hope: A New Birth of the Classical Spirit
Though he gets a little wild at times with his belief in technology, I still regard Turner's work as some of the most important I have run into. Using current brain theory, chaos theory and the anthropology he grew up with, Turner presents us with a new paradigm, which takes us both forward and back to classical values. I'm with him!
"Of course we need to use all the computerized weather prediction, all the nonlinear econometric models, all the electroencephalograms, all the careful ecological analysis we can get. But our decisions on the basis of this knowledge must finally be in the service of the greatest beauty: the greatest epistemological beauty, that is, truth; and the greatest ethical beauty, that is goodness. The attractors of these, we can be sure, are in the human breast. We must evoke them, by educating our conscience and our intuition of the truth; most important of all, and for our very survival, we must cultivate our taste."
