Owen Barfield.

Barfield was not part of the ambitious Inklings for nothing. The possibility of a philosophical dialogue in the twentieth century is here, with a biologist and a rocket technician attending a weekend getaway with a theologian, a philosopher, and a few others no less strange. Let the feelings and the arguments fly and the fences of compartmentalized thinking fall.
