Title

All Things Are Full of Gods: The Mysteries of Mind and Life

Description

Hart's "All Things are Full of Gods" addresses the nature of soul, consciousness, and the human as being participating in Being. The book is structured as a socratic dialogue between the gods Eros, Hermes, Psyche, and Hephaestus. Across multiple days they debate the naturalistic-mechanistic view of the world, exhausting all of its philosophical ramifications — and finding again and again the elusive consciousness and being that elude capture in their grip. Relevant to the subject at hand, Hart devotes sizeable portions of his text to an investigation of how we come to conceptualize ourselves as the machines we create, in the process losing sight of what ultimately and definitively distinguishes us from them.
