Mind at Large with William Irwin Thompson

Program Description

Open your mind and brace yourself as this visionary intellect blasts brilliant, biting and provocative insights across every subject he faces, including CNN, global politics, pop culture, the men’s movement, virtual reality, Joseph Campbell and Rudolf Steiner. Whether comparing television to radio or Aztec human sacrifice to computer terminal work, Thompson’s comments reflect the kind of bold and comprehensive erudition that raises hackles as well as penetrating questions.

He is the founding director of the Lindisfarne Association in Colorado, author of many books including The American Replacement of Nature: The Everyday Acts and Outrageous Evolution of Economic Life (Doubleday 1991), and co-author, with David Spangler, of Reimagination of the World: A Critique of the New Age, Science and Popular Culture (Bear & Co. 1991).
