A Chronological Inquiry of the World's Most Influential Seekers of Wisdom in the Fields of Theology, Philosophy, and Science.
Like many, I have given the origin and meaning of life a great deal of thought in an effort to live it fully – with grace and intelligence. It was not until I chronicled the advancement of wisdom through the ages that I was able to more clearly articulate my innermost feelings about this question. In the process, I discovered that philosophical/theological discussions on reality are empty without the consideration of scientific inquiry since they inform each other. We can surely benefit immensely from the great minds who have dramatically changed the world and help man imagine himself in it – leading to one’s own self-discovery.
