Ten years in the making and already receiving wide critica acclaim, The Passion of the Western Mind is a major new inquiry into the evolution of our culture's consciousness, from the dawn of Western civilization to the dawn of the twenty-first century. This is the epic sstory of our intellectual and spiritual heritage, a story never before told with such breadth of focus and clarity of insight.
First sentence: To approach what was distinctive in a vision as complex and protean as that of the Greeks, let us begin by examining one of its most striking characteristics-a sustained, highly diversified tendency to interpret the world in terms of archetypal principles.
