Does that sound impossibly ambitious? It's only the beginning. In the process of articulating his view of life, Schumacher proceeds to knock the foundation from under much of what science has been about these past few centuries, and then to bring into synthesis the definitive tenets of the world's major religions. All this -- and more -- in only 140 pages.
But hold the snickers; the man pulls it off. Compelling reasoned and persuasively presented, this "Guide diagrams a view of humans and the world in which they live that will challenge and stimulate every thoughtful reader."-- "Newsday""A Guide for the Perplexed offers us a harvest of utterly insane, consoling, and life-afffirming insight from one of the wisest minds of our time. It is and unapologetic defense of traditional Christian humanism which I am certain will light many a darkrned path."-- Theodore Roszak, "Los Angeles Times""A Guide for the Perplexed deserves wide reading. It deserves in fact a Place in the college curriculum, as a text for introductory courses in philosophy....It does as much for the defense of traditional civilizational values as C.S. Lewis's "The Abolition of Man did in the last generation, and it does so on a metaphysical foundation."-- "Greensboro Daily News""A Guide for the Perplexed is really a statement of the philosophical underpinnings that inform "Small is Beautiful.Those who have read neither book should be wise to read the latest book first. Those who have read "Small is Beautiful will benefit from careful reading of this new book. It's impact may be less immediate, but perhaps more substantial and lasting."-- "Chicago Tribune"

The basic thrust of the book is that throughout the history of humanity, there were considered to be "different levels of being", with increasing levels of awareness and consciousness, and that only relatively recently has the progress of science been so successful that consideration of our "inner" nature and being has been displaced.
Schumachers book is highly pertinent and relevant and every bit as useful and brilliant as his "Small is Beautiful". It is however a book about man, his purpose and meaning in life, and the role (if any) of spirit. At various times Schumacher was a Buddhist and a Christian and his quotations cover a wide spectrum of sources and views from both eastern and western philosophies.
