Conscious Clay: From Science Via Philosophy To Religion

By William Allison Shimer

Conscious Clay: From Science Via Philosophy To Religion is a thought-provoking book by William Allison Shimer that explores the relationship between science, philosophy, and religion. The book delves into the concept of consciousness and how it relates to the physical world through the use of clay as a metaphor. Shimer argues that consciousness is not just a byproduct of the brain but is an inherent quality of the universe. The book takes the reader on a journey through various philosophical and scientific theories on consciousness, including those of Descartes, Kant, and Darwin. Shimer also explores the role of religion in shaping our understanding of consciousness and the universe. He argues that the concept of God can be understood as a metaphor for the underlying consciousness that permeates all of existence. Throughout the book, Shimer uses examples from art, literature, and mythology to illustrate his points and make the concepts more accessible to the reader. He also provides exercises and questions for the reader to reflect on their own understanding of consciousness and its relationship to the world around us. Overall, Conscious Clay: From Science Via Philosophy To Religion is a thought-provoking and engaging exploration of the nature of consciousness and its relationship to science, philosophy, and religion. It is a must-read for anyone interested in the intersection of these fields and the big questions of existence.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
