Perspectives from Time, Space and Nature by Ornald Toynbee

In Perspectives from Time, Space and Nature, Arnold J. Toynbee reflects on how modern science, psychology, religion, and mysticism have transformed humanity’s understanding of its place in the universe. From the shock of Copernicus and Newton to the unsettling revelations of relativity and the unconscious, Toynbee traces how Western thought first diminished, and then subtly re-imagined, human significance. He explores how modern physics dissolves the idea of a fixed cosmic center, how psychology uncovers a vast collective unconscious beneath individual personality, and how these discoveries echo ancient intuitions found in Hindu philosophy, Buddhism, Islamic thought, and Western mysticism. Drawing on figures as diverse as Pascal, Euripides, Wordsworth, Vaughan, the Buddha, Plotinus, and the Qur’anic vision of return to the Ultimate Reality, Toynbee asks the deepest human questions: What is life? What is death? Is individuality ultimate—or a temporary wave on an eternal sea? This audio version invites listeners into a meditative encounter with history, metaphysics, and the mystery of existence—where science and spirituality converge, and where modern thought unexpectedly meets ancient wisdom.
