| Synopsis: |
From eco-warriors fighting the building of motorways, to adherents of alternative therapies and spiritualities, the shorthand 'New Age' is a much-misunderstood one. But where does the term come from, and what does it really amount to? Carefully distinguishing between different interpretations of New Age belief and practice, and explaining its origins in astrology, Sarah Lewis introduces students to the fundamental tenets of New Age thinking (including shamanism, the paranormal, Occultism, Gaia, Wicca, Druidism, homeopathy, reincarnation and spiritualism). Concentrating especially on the broad areas of equality, ecology and healing, Lewis shows that New Age thinking is not a monolithic belief-system but a search for meaning that reflects the fragmented complexity of culture itself. With this book she has produced the first basic introduction to the New Age that outlines its key ideas and puts these in context. |
