Henri Atlan's A tort et à raison Enlightenment to Enlightenment (1993) Cover art: Roland Cat's La Promenade Galerie Isy Brachot, Bruxelles-Paris

ENLIGHTENMENT TO ENLIGHTENMENT Flower children tripped to the East— Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds, Hare Krishna, yoga, and zen— guru hunting that never ends. Monkey King journeyed to the West fighting wild beasts, demons, ghosts to bring back sacred Buddhist texts and found the scrolls to be void. Enlightenment— Rousseau & Buddha— Outer and inner search for truth through research in science and meditating on awakened mind. Henri Atlan's book shows towering magic mushrooms soaring high— What is the bicycle doing here?— Aha! Kitty Hawk— man's first flight to the sky.                     Peter Y.
