Seen by its fast growing readership as vital in
a world that is increasingly enslaved by material forces and short term gain (and the violence that flows from such addictions),
The Shen seeks to redress that imbalance, and make the case for wisdom. It suggests that to know nature is to know
ourselves, and visa versa; it infers that to create a barrier between ourselves and the natural (by definition,
everything) can only be disastrous. It is, of course, a plea for peace and rationality.
