{"product_id":"9780877853961","title":"At Home in the Universe: Re-Envisioning the Cosmos with the Heart","description":"\u003cp\u003eJohn L. Hitchcock presents a spiritual interpretation of humanity's place in the universe as understood by science. In a radical departure from recent science-and-spirituality debates, he contends that humanity must balance its intellectual vision of the universe with a heart-centered view. It is the heart, he argues, that enables us to feel at home in the cosmos. How?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHitchcock asserts that the purpose of creation is the fulfillment of love. Specifically, love unites the qualities that characterize the universe, qualities humanity shares. As humans cultivate these qualities through love, we contribute to the spiritual development of the cosmos itself.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is an in-depth, yet accessible, philosophical exploration into the fundamental nature of the universe, equally informed by a physicist's understanding of cutting-edge science and a soulful philosopher's penetrating perception of the cosmos' metaphysical dimension. The result is a rare disquisition that is as warm-hearted as it is intellectually astute.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Swedenborg Foundation Publishers","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47009095909616,"sku":"9780877853961","price":16.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780877853961_p0.jpg?v=1763838631","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780877853961","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
