OverviewPersonal, reflective, and gently investigative, these early essays have a raw, fresh quality which predates the more formal theory and practice ofPeter Ralston's two popular books,The Book of Not KnowingandPursuing Consciousness.Many of the questions we might struggle with in life-identity in relation to others, authenticity in the face of belief systems, the draw we have to pursue ineffective self-serving urges, and our tendency to conceptualize rather than experience things-are described here in simple, almost conversational language. Attempting to grasp what authentic knowledge is, Ralston's queries become a quest for how humans can develop a deeper sense of themselves as participants in the world.
