註釋A fascinating account of the discovery of a novel image of reality that will transform society. With his hunch of an unusual domain of time, Marc van der Erve reexamines the doctrines that helped society advance but, at the same time, shielded it from a remarkable realm of human interpretation. Rather than challenge these doctrines, van der Erve unveils a meta-view, a liberating perspective of human thinking and acting. He uses the wisdom of historical figures to open the gates to a domain where reality transpires, then shows how this domain will help us explain the rise and decline of civilizations, the process of scientific inquiry, future business success and natural phenomena, such as phase transitions and the human thinking process. Finally, van der Erve explores how we will relearn to explain the past and read the future. Marc van der Erve has a degree in applied physics and a PhD in sociology. An original and prudent interpreter, van der Erve picks up the storyline where philosophers, such as Spinoza and Bergson, left off. Not unlike the futurologist, Herman Kahn, he predicts the next era. Yet, van der Erve suggests that man will adopt another image of reality to deal with the growing complexity of society, a view that is shared by influential leaders of thought in all walks of life (endorsements). Written in a lucid and inspiring way, and illustrated by 46 unique figures, this leading, 75,000-word book helps those that are concerned with matters of human progress in their pursuit of a more fruitful interpretation of their world.
