Title: Tremendous insights into the human condition
Product review: Arguelles gets right down to the root causes of the crisis of modern civilization.He calls the feminine element psyche(breath or soul) and the male element techne (skill).Since the Renaissance techne has come to dominate life, giving us a purely mechanical existence at the exspense of psyche, which has been relegated to the unconscious.There is no recognised relation between the two, and modern life "is the life of the waking dead, and it is no real life at all". Arguelles shows how art has manifested this split, culminating in the sterility of modern art today.He calls for the reconciliation of male and female in order to restore cosmic harmony.The true artist can plant the vision-seed that will take us forward.The scope of Arguelles' vision is fantastic.This book has real answers that show the way out of our dying civilization.
