Crafted with the same care and insight as her award-winning novels, Absence of Mind challenges postmodern atheists who crusade against religion under the banner of science. In Robinson's view, scientific reasoning does not denote a sense of logical infallibility, as thinkers like Richard Dawkins might suggest. Instead, in its purest form, science represents a search for answers. It engages the problem of knowledge, an aspect of the mystery of consciousness, rather than providing a simple and final model of reality.By defending the importance of individual reflection, Robinson celebrates the power and variety of human consciousness in the tradition of William James. She explores the nature of subjectivity and considers the culture in which Sigmund Freud was situated and its influence on his model of self and civilization. Through keen interpretations of language, emotion, science, and poetry, Absence of Mind restores human consciousness to its central place in the religion-science debate. 410 0$aTerry lectures. 606 $aReligion and science 606 $aPhilosophy, Modern 606 $aThought and thinking 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aReligion and science. 615 0$aPhilosophy, Modern. 615 0$aThought and thinking. 676 $a201/.65 700 $aRobinson$b Marilynne$0566687 712 02$aDwight Harrington Terry Foundation. 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910452815103321 996 $aAbsence of mind$92469595 997 $aUNINA
