Tellingly, in the course of reviewing his body of work, Deloria found much that he had written in the past remained current and compelling because "people have not made much progress in resolving issues." Whether disputing theories of religion and science, examining the problems of modern education, or expounding on our understanding of the world, Deloria consistently urges readers toward an intimate connection with the world in which we live. For those familiar with Deloria's works as well as those discovering him for the first time, this essential anthology will teach, provoke, and enlighten in equal measure.

@ZoeSTodd ❤ I just started reading Spirit and Reason as well as Metaphysics of Modern Existence. There's plenty to think about. Vine Deloria unsettles dominant Euromodern ontological assumptions, which many people seem to believe is a new critique.
