3 BUCKMINSTER FULLER ANWAR DIL
4 A meeting of East and West, Humans in Universe is based on conversations between Buckminster Fuller and Anwar Dil. Humans in Universe is the final book written by a man whose extraordinary mind has received universal recognition. In his conversations with Dil, Buckminster Fuller explores the working of the human mind and addresses such topics as poetic mind, intuition, aesthetics, love and discovery and invention in art, science and technology. This consideration of the essential functions of humans and their future on ‘space-ship earth’ is a fitting tribute and culmination of a life’s work in the search of ‘truths that make men free’.
5 The book includes arabesques and calligraphs by Anwar Dil with Fuller’s commentary. Comprehensive notes, illustrations, and four of Fuller’s essays are also included.
