In this incisive work of non-fiction, Marilynne Robinson interrogates the prevailing materialist assumptions that dominate modern intellectual discourse. By examining the historical and philosophical tensions between scientific reductionism and the subjective experience of consciousness, she challenges the reader to reconsider the limitations of secular humanism and the nature of the human mind.
