Paperback • 305 pages The Supreme Art of Dialogue: structures of meaning With illustrations; including glossary, bibliographic references, name and subject indices. The Supreme Art of Dialogue attempts to integrate diverse perspectives on the dialogue process, including the spiritual and the scientific and is itself a kind of dialogue incorporating many points of view. At its core is a reconciliation between numerical or formal and verbal or qualitative ways of thinking. It has four main sources. Each contrasts with each of the others in contrasting ways, and engages with the others reciprocally. The dialogue process is of supreme importance in human life yet only now is it beginning to be acknowledged. The late Patrick de Mare always insisted that dialogue was mind and that mind was that between brains rather than in brains. The key figures in the discourse of The Supreme Art include: John Bennett, mathematician and mystic and student of Gurdjieff; David Bohm, physicist; Patrick de Mare, pioneer of the median group concept; Gordon Lawrence, pioneer of the Social Dreaming Matrix, and Edward Matchett, an explorer of how genius might be developed. "Living in the era of information and knowledge, people are chained to facts. In a series of stimulating chapters this book invites us to enquire into the making of meaning. Public life is reduced to ideology which provides the leaders of society with a ready-made, taken-for-granted perception of so­ciety that the citizen has to accept as absolute truth. This book offers an antidote to slipshod thinking, also showing how dialogue like dreaming, can be creative by organizing thinking into new holistic patterns, leading us to the infinite."_Dr. Gordon Lawrence, author of Social Dreaming @ Work "This book is a valuable attempt to explore the possibilities of dialogue from a multi-disciplinary perspective and 'stretches the envelope' to include con­cepts from physics and mysticism as well as from the more orthodox mate­rial of Group Analysis. Blake's advocacy of structure in meaning-making challenges many current assumptions and he introduces some new theo­retical approaches that offer much food for thought."_Anthony Judge, developer of the Encyclopaedia of World Problems and Human Potential (Union of International Associations) and instigator of the Union of Imaginable Associations Anthony Blake=Author
