The Hidden Third

by Basarab Nicolescu, William Garvin (Translator)

Poetry. Philosophy. Translated from French by William Garvin. Foreword by Gonçalo Tavares. "Liminally landing between prose and poetry, science and art, philosophy and spirituality, THE HIDDEN THIRD charismatically disseminates a new renaissance transmission. Leaving the reader breathless. Re-imagined, re-generated. Mind duly sanctified."--Gary P. Hampson




"A first phrase is always a first it begins. And in these poetic theorems, each theorem is always a first phrase."--Gonçalo Tavares




"We could ask Basarab Nicolescu about the last constituents of matter or language, since, according to him, language is a truly quantum phenomena."--Michel Camus

Reviews

[Scot · Rating 5 out of 5]

An exploration of what it means to be alive in poetic form by a quantum physicist and philosopher. Set up as a series of musings and feeling like we are simply watching the author's thoughts stream through, this is a beautiful, sometimes comic and sometimes surreal journey through an interesting mind.
