Recent breakthroughs in science and philosophy are beginning to disclose the deeper meanings behind our evolving universe. As Steve McIntosh argues, this emerging understanding of nature and history reveals humanity's higher purpose: to further human evolution by fostering the spiritual growth of people, the cultural growth of civilization, and the maturation of our relationship with nature. In response to the gloomy zeitgeist of our time, Truth Emerging provides a renewed vision of purpose and progress. This counter-cultural message of hope and courage can help us rediscover philosophy's power to bring about positive social change. Written in two parts, Questions and Commentary, the book addresses twenty vital questions for developmental philosophy with brief, accessible answers before expanding upon each answer with commentary that delves into the deeper dimensions of this philosophy of evolution.
