Its scholarship is impeccable....For its length it is the best intellectual history of the West I have ever seen. --Huston Smith, Graduate Theological Union at Berkeley<br> The most lucid and concise presentation I have read of the grand lines of what every student should know about the history of Western thought.--Joseph Campbell<br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><b>Richard Tarnas </b> is a Harvard-educated historian and professor of philosophy and psychology, and the author of <i>The Passion of the Western Mind. </i>In 2006 he published <i>Cosmos and Psyche: Intimations of a New World View</i>, which received the Book of the Year Prize from the Scientific and Medical Network in the UK<i>. </i>He is the founding director of the Philosophy, Cosmology, and Consciousness graduate studies program at the California Institute of Integral Studies, and also teaches on the faculty of Pacifica Graduate Institute.
