Embracing Mind By Alan B Wallace

Embracing Mind: The Common Ground of Science and Spirituality by B. Alan Wallace and Brian Hodel asks how consciousness might be studied through both scientific inquiry and contemplative experience. The discussion draws on several religious traditions rather than Buddhism alone.

A history of scientific approaches to mind leads into the authors’ proposal for contemplative science and a selection of meditations. Their argument invites reflection on the limits and possibilities of different ways of knowing.
