The Tao of Liberation - by Mark Hathaway and Leonardo Boff - is a "search of wisdom in a time of crisis" drawing on such diverse fields as ecology, economics, spirituality, and scientific cosmology. See taoliberation for more information Description Today we may be standing at the most important crossroads in the history of humanity, and indeed of the Earth itself. Deepening poverty and accelerating ecological degradation challenge us to act with insight and maturity: How can we move toward a future where meaning, hope, and beauty can truly flourish? The Tao of Liberation is a search for this path, the wisdom needed to effect profound transf...ormations in our world. Hathaway and Boff describe this wisdom using the ancient Chinese word Tao, meaning a way or path leading to harmony, peace, and right relationship. The Tao can also be understood as the wisdom that lies at the very heart of the flowing structure of the universe, encapsulating the essence of its purpose. The book begins by asking: How does transformation occur?—Or, perhaps more precisely, Why is it so difficult to effect the changes so urgently needed to save the living Earth community? It then embarks on a journey of exploration through such diverse fields as economics, psychology, cosmology, and spirituality in search for the wisdom – or Tao – needed to move away from our current destructive path and instead toward authentic liberation: A way leading to ever-greater communion, diversity, and creativity.See More
