A Promise of Eden

This book brings together Eastern and Western thought in a new way -- it applies Chinese and Indian medicine and philosophy to Western disciplines including medicine, psychology, evolutionary theory and the development of U.S. society. The result is a large number of new and original ideas that provide much food for thought. For instance, the clash between liberals and conservatives in U.S. politics is presented as a conflict between archetypal male and female energies. The rise of women, the author argues, is a sign that female energies -- bearing love, compassion and concern for community -- are finally counterbalancing the male energies of aggression and self-interest, leading to a healthier and more whole society.
