Description
Wonderstruck explores the transformative role of wonder and awe in an uncertain world, revealing how these emotions shape our need to make sense of ourselves and the world around us.
Helen De Cruz argues that wonder and awe are emotional drives that motivate us to inquire and discover new things, and that they have been nurtured in cultural domains such as religion, science, and magic. This book provides new perspectives on the role of wonder and awe in unifying philosophy, the humanities, and the sciences.
By examining the ways in which wonder and awe empower us to be open-minded, experience joy and hope, and be resilient in the face of personal troubles and global challenges, Wonderstruck offers a fresh perspective on how these emotions can help us reclaim what makes life worth living.
