Rediscovering the Integral Cosmos: Physics, Metaphysics, and Vertical Causality

When a physicist who becomes a metaphysician, and a metaphysician who studies physics, join together to examine science (quantum physics and cosmogenesis in particular), explosive results might well be expected. Here Wolfgang Smith and Jean Borella return us to a Weltanschauung that can finally account for the world in all its dimensions. French religious philosopher JEAN BORELLA (b. 1930) taught metaphysics and the history of ancient and medieval philosophy at the University of Nancy until 1995. His aim has always been to blend the concerns of philosophy with those of the Christian faith, its dogmas, as well as its symbolic expressions. Among his other books in English translation are The Crisis of Religious Symbolism and Christ the Original Mystery, both available from Angelico Press.
