Editor's Comment on THE LANDSCAPE OF A MIND

This book is a lively, readable presentation, very generally addressed, of the only question that, ironically, can never be answered, or certainly cannot be given one answer to fit all - WHY?

The author does not take up a polemical stance. He is a humanist. He examines, in particular, the universality of message, and he gives the reader a clear way through some of the chronological and intellectual history of ethical thought. He raises some central matters which may not be common thoughts although they should be.

One of the qualities of this book is that it may start the casual reader to think less casually. It is extremely easy to read. The author gives the reader a lot of jumping-off points, some of them provocative: OK, he seems to be saying, you don't agree? Right, off you go, read it up, find out for yourself, make up your own mind.

Someone who picks up this book could easily find themselves next reading Darwin, the Upanishads, or Bertrand Russell, the Quran or Spinoza. This has to be valuable. I have a bad habit of reading three books at once and while I was reading this one, I was also reading Wittgenstein's Tractatus (flawed but fascinating) and the letters of Carl Jung (too many of them), and they were not bad book shelf fellows. This book may appear simple, but it is certainly not simplistic. An insoluble intellectual problem is made no easier by being dressed up in jargon. Tohon is a profoundly spiritual writer who communicates with his reader in the language of truth and perception.

This is an interesting and above all thought provoking book. It has been a privilege to have read THE LANDSCAPE OF A MIND. It presents a poetic distillation of much thought and wisdom in a frame that is contemporary but also timeless. Although it is not specifically theist, it calls to mind a well-known line from the Quran: For the man who takes one step to Allah, Allah will take ten steps towards that man.
