″This book of reflections on originality in the light of spirituality could be read as a complement to my book ENVY AND ORIGINALITY (Doubleday & Co., 1972) in which originality is studied in the light of the human sciences. The latter book is a more systematic one while the following reflections are less strictly structured as a whole. Each reflection forms a unity in itself and can be read on its own. Yet the theme of spirituality and originality binds all these reflections together and is developed in such a way that only a reading of all the reflections will do justice to the topic.” (Preface)
