Dale Cannon, Professor of Philosophy, Western Oregon State College “The Passion of the Western Mind is as fine an account of the story of the Western mind, in all of its complexity and tensions, as I believe exists anywhere.” “The most thrilling narrative of the West’s 3,000-year odyssey in pursuit of truth accessible to a broad public of which this reviewer is aware. Tarnas writes lucidly, brilliantly, passionately, unfolding the great drama of the evolution of the Western mind act by act, scene by scene in precise and scholarly detail.” “It is a superb, enthralling book-a masterpiece: as gripping as a detective story as moving as a poem.
Huston Smith, author of The World’s Religions
