This volume emerged from a meeting in India on what Henryk Skolimowski calls lumenosophy and lumenarchy. Never content with the limitations of existing vocabulary, he has coined a number of important terms that expand our sense of possibilities. The first part discusses the light of philosophy and the philosophy of light, moving on to ecological integrity, ethics and sustainability, then a section on eco-poetry and finally the art of light - it is a pity that this last section is in black-and-white. The book conveys a radical tone, reminding the reader the basis of right politics must be wisdom, which Henryk calls sophocracy, corresponding to a more universal vision embodied in the idea of cosmocracy. A number of authors expound the philosophy of light, reminding us that light is consciousness and consciousness is light. Paul Hague provides important contribution with his essay on the coherent light of consciousness as an awakening to self reflective intelligence, itself a gateway to the divine. Is interesting to read some Indian reflections on sustainability, especially Prof Singh on agro-ecology in relation to food production. The poetry provides an inspiring vision in a more concentrated form, calling for the light of awakening - this section also enables Henryk to express his philosophy in a concentrated lyrical form, encouraging readers to have fire in their lives, to be indomitable, and to transmit as well as receive light as inherently divine beings.
