Labyrinth in Culture and Society: Pathways to Wisdom

Rating:
Summary: Fascinating
Review: I was pleased to discover this book was an easy read. Though it posits some complex interpretations of the labyrinth, Attali's ideas come alive in his strong, lucid prose. The book is chock full of physical and symbolic labyrinths of the past and present. I especially liked his references to nomadic cultures. An enjoyable book.

Summary: Fascinating
Review: This book is probably the best way to start with the study of the multiple significations and applications of this ancient labyrinth science. Full of very good references, and stangely enlightened insights. Two flaws however: often stays at the surface of an idea, sometimes gets a little carried away. That's why it's more of an introduction than a true reference book. My advice: read this book and then go to Grace Cathedral in San Fransisco walk the labyrinth.
