As the author points out in the preface to the 1983 edition, there’s a lot of non-inclusive language to set aside, but the underlying material is worth it. A lovely articulation, particularly in the last section, of the value of a contemplative stance today. (Where “today” in 1971 isn’t as different as we might like to imagine from “today” in 2019.
