Philip Kuberski's remarkable CHAOSMOS weaves
together twentieth-century fiction, physics, and
philosophy Western and Eastern in order to
reflect on the exhaustion of modernity and the
possibilities of post-modernity. Hopeful but not
sentimental, Prof. Kuberski finds in modern literature
and science not only the self-destruction of the
Cartesian paradigm, but the emergence of ways of
thinking, feeling, and writing that avoid the stale
binaries of the former: neither chaos nor cosmos,
but "chaosmos."

Insights are to be found on every page. In addition,
the book is a terrific read: no wasted words, no
wrong notes; in short, a book that is worthy of the
extraordinary writers it treats.
