The Omega seed: An eschatological hypothesis

by Paolo Soleri

The Omega Seed brings together the recent writings of Paolo Soleri on eschatology, that branch of theology concerned with the final events in the history of the world or of mankind. Soleri believes that the simulation of the divine will provide man with a blueprint for creation not only of our physical environment but also of a new stage in the evolution of mankind. His work is against the things of a materialistic society, toward a redesigning of the urban civilization of earth.

This collection thus continues the essays in his early work, 'The Bridge Between Matter and Spirit is Matter Becoming Spirit'.
