Overview

Alan Wallace y Brian Hodel proponen una verdadera ciencia de la mente basada en la sabiduría contemplativa del budismo, el hinduismo, el taoísmo, el cristianismo y el islam. Los autores comienzan mostrando cómo, a lo largo de la historia, la cienciaha tendido a ignorar la mente, aún sabiendo que ésta es el instrumentoa través del cual aprehendemos el mundo. A partir de ahí plantean el desarrollo de una ciencia contemplativa de la mente, basada en las técnicas de meditación de las grandes tradiciones espirituales. La obra presenta, además, meditaciones de alcance universal -para científicos y personas de todas las creencias- que revelan nuevas dimensiones de la conciencia.
