Reviews

This is an excellent pioneering work, erudite, courageous and imaginative, that provides a new kind of ethics, linked to a newly appeared complex of religions, which are founded on some very old human truths. Professor Ronald Hutton, world expert on paganism and author of The Triumph of the Moon and many other titlesThis is a lively, sensible and careful attempt to make sense of some very confusing, and yet important, areas of modern thought. I particularly like the clear style and the attention that the author gives to parts of the historical background which are usually misunderstood. I think the book should interest a wide audience. Mary Midgley, philosopher, author of Science as Salvation and many other works
