Description:
Meticulously penned, this iconoclastic book is broken into two parts. The first considers then scrutinizes the human tendency toward myth. In addition to challenging religious belief systems, it goes further to suggest that seemingly secular religious beliefs are largely mythical in nature. The latter section examines the political structures of the modern world from the critical vantage point provided by the former hypothesis. The book goes on to suggest an appropriate way forward. Wonderfully succinct and deliciously sublime, internal metaphors abound in these essays focused Often allegoric with a number of poetic insertions The Bridge by David Hillstrom is a serious philosophical study of modern man’s inability to transcend myth and his innate call to continue in the guises of secular beliefs. Truly unique, this bold, keen- sighted treatise is highly readable and proves to be one of the most powerful collections of philosophical and metaphysical essays published in the past decade.
Meticulously penned, this iconoclastic book is broken into two parts. The first considers then scrutinizes the human tendency toward myth.

The latter section examines the political structures of the modern world from the critical vantage point provided by the former hypothesis. The book goes on to suggest an appropriate way forward. Wonderfully succinct and deliciously sublime, internal metaphors abound in these essays focused on “dark knowledge,” which is similar to the Universe’s dark matter and just as difficult to analyze. With essays such as “On Science and Hubris” and “Culture, Language and Historical Baggage” and “Environmental Calculus,” ultimately, the book unveils fundamental issues of epistemology and individual perspective that as humans we must not ignore.
