Description

Humans throughout history have sought ways of understanding their place within the world.

Religion, science and myth have been at the forefront of this quest for meaning.

A Chaos of Delight examines how various cultures – from the early Sumerians, Egyptians and Greeks to contemporary Western society – have looked at the same phenomena and devised totally different world views.

The rise of modern science is examined, alongside questions of evolution and the origins of life.

This comprehensive volume is an essential read for students and scholars interested in the history of ideas and the role of religion, science and myth in the development of Western thought.
