In his comments on the relationship of science and the {\guillemotleft}New Age{\guillemotright} Basfelad identified two broad classifications of books appearing in the last two decades or so concerned with the modern need to make the sciences the basis of a more comprehensive world conception. In short, one class was seen as a combination of thermodynamics and chaos theory and the other as a blend of holistic science and mysticism (Basfeld 1987). Although Laszlo wants to avoid any mystical elements there is some justification for placing his book {\guillemotleft}The Creative Cosmos{\guillemotright} in both of Basfeld{'}s classifications. Without doubt, the way in which higher worlds (eg. etheric) manifest themselves in the world of the senses is a matter of interest to scientists working with anthroposophy. This being so, they may wonder if Laszlo{'}s use of the ether idea will help them with their quest. As the title indicates, Laszlo sets out to develop a comprehensive transdisciplinary cosmology. There is hardly a branch of knowledge or art left untouched. The main groupings in the title are treated with equal thoroughness. [...]
