Review: Einstein and Buddha, by Thomas J. McFarlane

Einstein & Buddha: The Parallel Sayings

by Thomas J. McFarlane (Ed.)

Ulysses Press/Seastone, Berkeley, California, 2002. 192 pp.

Over the past several centuries, it has been commonly thought that science and religion represent uncompromising antagonistic points of view related to the nature of reality. This book dissolves the illusion that the two disciplines are fundamentally locked in opposition by presenting hundreds of examples to the contrary. From the sayings of modern physicists and mystics of diversified traditions through the ages, Thomas McFarlane has woven a beautiful fabric displaying a stunning cohesiveness of thought -- to the point that one is often unable to distinguish the source discipline of the quote without reading the credit.
