Angels Fear: Towards an Epistemology of the Sacred by Gregory Bateson, Mary Catherine Bateson
silvio's review
5.0
this was infinitely more than just a worthy sequel and upgrade to "mind and nature". (dead) father and daughter have written a true piece of art, combining more evidently interrelated ideas and concepts than there are fingers on all hands on earth (these pictures show just a small fraction of this book's beautiful vastness).
i really love this attempt of these super-atheist western scientists to extract the sacred, "god", out of their worldview, leading to a convincing defense of religion. and indeed some of their ideas sound very similar to notions of eastern nondual traditions i have come to love - especially nondual shaiva tantra.
