“Encounters in Thought: Beyond Instrumental Reason”

Wipf and Stock Publishers

Thinking is a dynamic process resulting from practices of integration. Thought encounters in openness, wonder, receptivity and contemplation confer upon us intellectual work that is uniquely our own. Digital patterns, however, distract us from these creative encounters. Our intellectual searching is weakened and fragmented by frenetic consumption of information. We miss out on reason’s innate pull toward integration and concrete reality. This book is an invitation to enter into openness, wonder, receptivity and contemplation with deeper understanding and intentionality.
