St John of the Cross, in his famous poem, wrote of the ’dark night of the soul’, describing the struggle to renounce earthly pleasures and reach out for eternal life.In Connections, John Young takes a philosophical look at life in the twenty-first century. He traces the corruption of politics, the sensual downfall of the individual, and mankind’s incessant repetition of his own mistakes.Dealing with themes of science, religion and sociology, Connections shows humanity in need, more than ever, of finding a way to transcend the threshold of earthly existence.How can this be done? Who has the strength to do it? Who does not? These questions are of vital significance in a consideration of the world today.
