Recent breakthroughs in science and philosophy are beginning to disclose the deeper meanings behind our evolving universe. As Steve McIntosh argues, this emerging understanding of nature and history reveals humanity's higher purpose: to further human evolution by fostering the spiritual growth of people, the cultural growth of civilization, and the maturation of our relationship with nature. In response to the gloomy zeitgeist of our time, Truth Emerging provides a renewed vision of purpose and progress. This counter-cultural message of hope and courage can help us rediscover philosophy's power to bring about positive social change. Written in two parts, Questions and Commentary, the book addresses twenty vital questions for developmental philosophy with brief, accessible answers before expanding upon each answer with commentary that delves into the deeper dimensions of this philosophy of evolution.

Industry Reviews

"In this thought-provoking and wide-ranging new book Steve McIntosh turns our attention to themes new and old that other writers on evolution, cosmology, emergence, economics, politics, ecology, and Earth's future have often left out. What I find especially helpful is his locating the classical "transcendentals"-truth, goodness, and beauty-as the horizon and goal not only of human consciousness but also of planetary evolution and the entire awakening universe. Readers will find here many good reasons for hope."

-John F. Haught, professor emeritus, Georgetown University

 

"This is a beautiful and important book. Not only does McIntosh take on questions at the heart of our own time in history-questions we must ask to make sense of our world and ourselves-but he shows that our very thinking about these questions has the potential to bring about the next step of our realization: as a species, as a civilization, and as the gloriously irreducible individuals each of us is within those."

-Stephen J. Blackwood, founding president, Ralston College

 

"Western civilization stands at a threshold moment. In Truth Emerging, Steve McIntosh articulates a sweeping vision of evolution, purpose, and progress that clarifies the deeper challenges of our age and calls us to accept responsibility for shaping what comes next. This book is essential reading for anyone sincere and serious about advancing the evolution of human culture toward greater goodness, truth, and beauty."

-Rand Stagen, CEO, Stagen Leadership Academy

 

"In Truth Emerging, philosopher Steve McIntosh reminds readers that the cosmos exhibits a discernible, long-term developmental trajectory characterized by increasing complexity. This well-argued and accessible book deserves a wide audience!"

-Michael E. Zimmerman, professor emeritus, University of Colorado Boulder
