Unancestral Voice

A dialogue on the role of Imagination in knowledge and the aridity of materialism, with references to the evolution of consciousness and especially the ideas of David Bohm. Contains several sustained passages where Barfield reveals more of his soul-searching and inner striving than he did in any of his other published writings. "Some students of Barfield’s thought who have come to most fully appreciate him in his own right have recognized Unancestral Voice to be his most profound and original contribution to the intellectual ferment of his age." — Simon Blaxland de Lange, Owen Barfield: A Biography
