From Neil Douglas-Klotz 1995 Desert Wisdom: Sacred Middle Eastern writings from the Goddess through the Sufis (citing Brian Swimm and Thomas Berry 1992).
‘Among the greatest challenges linguistically is the change from our present efforts at an exclusively univocal, literal, scientific, objective language to a multivalent language much richer in its symbolic and poetic qualities. This is required because of the multivalent aspects of each reality. Scientific language, however useful in scientific investigation, can be harmful to the total human process once it is accepted as the only way to speak about the true reality of things (p. 258)’ (Klotz p. xxxii).
