I was having trouble trying to find a phrase that mirrored my sentiments exactly in terms of how I felt about her overall outlook, and "somewhat in the New Age camp" probably wasn't the best one I could have devised. She is without doubt somewhat of a transcendentalist, and perhaps that's the word I should have used. This, of course, in no way impugns her credentials as a scholar, and I've learned a great deal over the years from her books and public appearances.
