The Perennial Philosophy and the Recovery of a Theophanic View of Nature

This is a lucid account of the topic affirming the spiritual dimension of existence and explaining how the Reformation and scientific revolution removed a view of nature as a manifestation of the divine. Like SH Nasr, Jeremy emphasises the inner dimension of the ecological crisis and the need to recover a sense of wholeness and the capacity to reach a level of knowing where knower and known are included. In this way, 'human consciousness becomes the vehicle or mediator of God's self-knowledge' and we may be able to restore harmony to the world.
