Publisher's Description
▼▲“Carter Phipps brilliantly expands our understanding of evolution by showing us that a new science is emerging—one that will holistically integrate our understanding of consciousness, cosmology, and evolution.” —Deepak Chopra
Blending cutting-edge ideas with incisive spiritual insights, Evolutionaries is the first popular presentation of an emerging school of thought called “evolutionary spirituality.” Carter Phipps, the former executive editor of EnlightenNext magazine, asserts that evolution is not only a scientific but also a spiritual idea in a book whose message has the power to bring new meaning and purpose to life as we know it. Readers will be fascinated and enlightened by Evolutionaries, a book which Deepak Chopra, the world-renowned author of The Seven Spiritual Laws of Superheroes, Jesus, and Buddha, says “is going to help create a worldview that will influence our vision of the future direction of evolution and also our role in consciously participating in it.”
What happens when we see evolution not just as a scientific theory, but as a spiritual revelation?
- A Bridge Between Science and Religion: Discover why evolution, far from being the enemy of faith, is becoming the foundation for a new, integrated spirituality that honors both scientific discovery and the human search for meaning.
- An Emerging Worldview: Explore a coherent vision for the future that holistically integrates breakthroughs in cosmology, biology, and the study of consciousness.
- The Evolution of Culture and Consciousness: Go beyond biology to see how the same evolutionary principles are shaping our cultures, our values, and the very structure of our minds.
- An Integral Vision: Meet the “Evolutionaries”—pioneering thinkers from Pierre Teilhard de Chardin to Ken Wilber—who are mapping this new territory and discovering evolution’s deeper purpose.
