Reviews
"There is much to admire, and even to agree with, in Robinson''s humanist passion. Her defense of the insights to be gained from religion and literature is as convincing as her attacks on the facile generalizations of parascience."--Adam Kirsch, Boston Globe "[Robinson] makes the case with exceptional elegance and authority--the authority not only of one of the unmistakably great novelists of the age but of a clear and logical mind that is wholly intolerant of intellectual clich. . . . This book has a greater density (and sophistication) of argument than many three times its length; but it is one of the most significant contributions yet to the current quarrels about faith, science and rationality."--Rowan Williams, Archbishop of Canterbury, Daily Telegraph "These impassioned pages require and reward very close attention."--Michael Dirda, Washington Post "Robinson''s argument is prophetic, profound, eloquent, succinct, powerful and timely."--Karen Armstrong, The Guardian "I enjoyed reading Absence of Mind . The reason: it is always a pleasure to keep company with a person who takes ideas seriously."--Siri Hustvedt, Financial Times "The width of Robinson''s erudition is almost daunting, but she shares it with characteristic generosity. . . . Persist and you''ll be rewarded."-- The Sunday Telegraph "Marilynne Robinson, one of the greatest living American novelists, turns her word power towards those whose bogus science leaves us feeling that ''our minds are not our own.'' In Absence of Mind , her affirmation of ''human exceptionalism'' presents humanity as ''much more than an optimised ape.''"--Christopher Jamison, The Times "Those who savor Robinson''s clear prose will be gratified; her mind, in thought, is elegant."-- Publishers Weekly "Robinson''s arguments [are] so much more interesting, capacious, and informed than most. . . . Robinson makes a strong, unapologetic case, not for mystery but for self-respect."--Susan Salter Reynolds, Los Angeles Times "At a moment in cultural history dominated by the shallow, the superficial, the quick fix, Marilynne Robinson is a miraculous anomaly: a writer who thoughtfully, carefully, and tenaciously explores some of the deepest questions confronting the human species."--Merle Rubin, Los Angeles Times Book Review on Gilead "Pulitzer Prize-winner Robinson may be the only living novelist who has made a genuine contribution to philosophical reflection. . . . One of the most thought-stirring inquiries into fundamental questions that has appeared in many years."--John Gray, Globe & Mail "[Robinson] is one of the best thinkers in American letters. Her new (nonfiction) work is a slashing attack on scientific fundamentalism, not on behalf of religion but of human consciousness and our traditional concept of mind."-- Maclean''s "Marilynne Robinson asks hard questions. She challenges readers with a severe, sophisticated and spellbinding style and a determination to change the conversation about contemporary American culture. . . . Absence of Mind is important not so much as a brief for religion but as a tenacious and often trenchant critique of modern Western thought."--Glenn Altschuler, Minneapolis Star-Tribune "What Robinson has over both the parascientific writers whose work she rejects and the religion writers with whom she finds common ground is a long career (though few books) as a fiction writer, where she has demonstrated--and in her way, provided evidence of--the very contemplative, subjective lives of the faithful she defends in her new book."--Scott Korb, The Revealer "[Robinson reveals] how deep a debt both science and religion owe to art. . . . It is a rare treat to have a novelist express herself so forcefully, and so eloquently, in another medium."--Ingrid Rowland, American Scholar, "There is much to admire, and even to agree with, in Robinson''s humanist passion.

Synopsis
One of our best contemporary writers explores the tension between science and religion and reveals how our concept of mind determines how we understand and value human nature and human civilization "These impassioned pages require and reward very close attention."--Michael Dirda, Washington Post In this ambitious book, acclaimed writer Marilynne Robinson applies her astute intellect to some of the most vexing topics in the history of human thought--science, religion, and consciousness. Crafted with the same care and insight as her award-winning novels, Absence of Mind challenges postmodern atheists who crusade against religion under the banner of science. In Robinson's view, scientific reasoning does not denote a sense of logical infallibility, as thinkers like Richard Dawkins might suggest. Instead, in its purest form, science represents a search for answers. It engages the problem of knowledge, an aspect of the mystery of consciousness, rather than providing a simple and final model of reality. By defending the importance of individual reflection, Robinson celebrates the power and variety of human consciousness in the tradition of William James. She explores the nature of subjectivity and considers the culture in which Sigmund Freud was situated and its influence on his model of self and civilization. Through keen interpretations of language, emotion, science, and poetry, Absence of Mind restores human consciousness to its central place in the religion-science debate., One of our best contemporary writers explores the tension between science and religion and reveals how our concept of mind determines how we understand and value human nature and human civilization In this ambitious book, acclaimed writer Marilynne Robinson applies her astute intellect to some of the most vexing topics in the history of human thought--science, religion, and consciousness.
