Most helpful customer reviews on Amazon. There are too many "educated" yet unenlightened trousered apes who insist on seeing math and science as disciplines in opposition to the arts and humanities. This ignorant attitude, unfortunately, has as much to do with the state of American public education as it does with the myopic bigots who promulgate the stifling division.
Brain lateralization, or, the division of the right and left brain into proprietary functions of affect and logic, respectively, has been largely dismissed. Nevertheless, it takes two legs to walk: Right and left legs and arms do not function in adversarial opposition to each other; they function in co-operative coordination with each other for the synergistic benefit and advantage of the whole. The same can be said for seeing various human intellectual endeavors as vital components to a larger ecological whole.
Ignoring traditionally characterized "right brain" or "left brain" endeavors is functionally tantamount to giving one's self a "right brain" or "left brain" lobotomy. A truly well-educated person is firing on all cylinders, as it were. Many scientists and mathematicians at the forefront of their fields, who are at the cutting edge of research, can go into rapture about the aesthetics of their work and the profound beauty of their discoveries. Likewise, many artists, in all media, are fascinated with the latest discoveries in science and developments in technology, seeing them as inspiration, and using them as instruments of artistic exploration, investigation, and expression.
Shlain's central thesis is that the arts are prescient. In the realm of art and aesthetics, artists articulate intuitive insights, usually without realizing the power of their own intuition, which the sciences later, independently and empirically, discover, explore, and develop. It's all part and parcel of the structure of human consciousness, which might be thought of as a product of the zeitgeist of an era, or an aspect of the larger universal mind. Citing instance after instance throughout the ages, Shlain makes the case, with aplomb, that art and physics are united in that higher realm known as "the universal mind.
Consider purchasing this with Alan Lightman's wonderful little book, Einstein's Dreams. I have lent this book out many times and I never seem to get it back. I purchased another copy not too long ago as I intend to give it another read since it's been so long since I've read it maybe 20 years or so. I was naturally attracted to the title as I love reading about both art and physics.
So, seeing them together in one book sounded like too much fun. I bought it without realizing it was the same author.

I like this author because he asks "what if" and just sets about diving deep into what he wonders about. The author uses primarily paintings as his artistic examples juxtaposed against revolutionary physicist discoveries. He shows example after example throughout history: How we see the world in a new way is right up there with the meaning of life for me as far as things to muse. Another is that which is within any one person that allows them to not only see beyond the illusion that we all accept as the truth but also to say it out loud knowing that it may cost them their head.
