These include myth, philosophy, science, postmodernism, pragmatism, archetypal psychology, metaphysics, and naturalism.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn engaging, companionable prose, Ford boils down these systems to their bare essentials, showing the difference between viewing the world from a religious point of view and that of a naturalist, and comparing a scientific worldview to a philosophical one.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFord investigates the contributions of the Greeks, Kant, and William James, and brings the discussion up to date with contemporary thinkers.
