This book is a historical essay on the nature and meaning of light. In The Fire Within the Eye, scientist and author David Park helps us to reconceive the everyday phenomenon of light in profound ways, from spiritual meanings embedded in our culture to the challenging questions put forth by great scientists and philosophers. By creatively synthesizing a broad sweep of historical events and intellectual movements around the theme of light, the author offers readers of all backgrounds a unique perspective on Western civilization itself. - Back cover.
