THE ASCENT OF HUMANITY

by Charles Eisenstein

Essays

The following essays come from a span of four years, from the earliest stages of 
writing the book in 2003, to the period following the release in 2007. 
For more recent work, go to charleseisenstein.net and my page on Reality Sandwich.
Some of the essays here are only tangentially related to the subject matter of the book; 
others represent phases I went through several years ago, before I had fully worked out 
some of the paradoxes that the book resolves.
You might notice that the quality of these essays is uneven. Some of them are gems; 
others are informal ruminations, speculations with no attempt at rigor. 
Overall, I believe that they will enrich and extend your understanding of the book.
