The only way to get rid of anima is to bore her. In this case she manifests herself as absence, as loss of soul in the dead mechanical language of theorists who are bent on defining and categorizing what cannot be treated in this way.” - Patrick HarpurThis quote comes from a recent post by Daniel (http://www.breakingopenthehead.com/cgi-bin/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic&f=12&t=000121&p=3#000049), on another thread.
I have no idea of who Patrick Harpur is, but it put me in mind of an a review article that I read last night (still reading it actually).
It is posted here (http://mmbr.asm.org/cgi/reprint/68/2/173.pdf).
The article is by one of the world's most eminent biologists, Carl Woese. It is a critique of the reductionist worldview, among other things.
If you are studying science, or are prepared to slog through it, then it is well worth a read. A lot of ground is covered.
It is titled: 'A New Biology for a New Century'
