| Worlds Apart
Worlds Apart is a fictional dialogue between a physicist,
a biologist, a psychiatrist, a lawyer-philologist, a linguistic analyst, a theologian, a retired Waldorf teacher, and a young man engaged at a rocket research station. Over a period of three days, the characters get down to first principles.
"In the great English tradition of the lay specialist, Barfield, a lawyer, modernizes the Platonic dialogue format
to focus on the philosophic problems of reality and ways of knowing. . . . This is the solvent mind at its best — distinguished exchanges giving provocative, open-ended results at every point. . . . [Barfield’s] is a learned, disciplined, generous, and utterly intrepid intellect.” — Choice | | |
