Wonder: from emotion to spirituality

See all formats and editions

The attempt to identify the emotional sources of religion goes back to antiquity.

In an exploration that bridges science and spirituality, this book makes the convincing case that a sense of wonder is a principal source of humanity's belief in the existence of an unseen order of life.

Like no other emotion, the book argues, wonder prompts us to pause, admire, and open our hearts and minds.

Blending the scientific and the contemplative, it defines wonder in keeping with the tradition of Socrates - as an emotion related to curiosity and awe that stimulates engagement with the immediate physical world.
