Krátky popis
'Literal ",eccentricity", is where the scientific, artistic and
spiritual giants have always found their home. Venture with Foster
if you dare, and embrace life.' Iain McGilchrist, author of The
Master and His EmissaryWe tend to think that everything important
comes from the centre: from big cities, from established
orthodoxies in the sciences and the arts, from the Establishment in
all its forms. We think this because the centre tells us it is so,
but it's a lie.It is only at the edges that we think, innovate and
thrive. This book travels to the frontiers of human culture and
consciousness, to the edges of continents, of evolution, of
artistic and political movements, and life itself: from a rocky
precipice in the Peloponnese where the first human set foot in
Europe to an ancient Egyptian temple where monotheism was invented,
from St Francis, kissing lepers to the giant bird-eating mice of St
Kilda. Why do we stare at sunsets? Why do we celebrate birthdays
and grieve for those who are gone? Why do all adventures begin when
we leave and get lost? Who has the better view of reality – the
Government or the dispossessed?And what happens when we live with
the knowledge that we’re all teetering on the edge of the dark?
