A new edition of Rupert Sheldrake's bestseller
Rupert Sheldrake is een bioloog en auteur wiens werk zich verdiept in de ontwikkeling en het gedrag van planten en dieren, telepathie, perceptie en metafysica. Geïnspireerd door de filosoof Henri Bergson, ontwikkelde hij de theorie van morfische resonantie, die de onderlinge verbondenheid van natuurlijke fenomenen onderzoekt. Sheldrakes schrijven wordt gekenmerkt door een interdisciplinaire aanpak, die wetenschappelijk onderzoek combineert met filosofische contemplatie. Lezers zullen zijn diepgaande verkenningen van de aard van de werkelijkheid en de levende wereld waarderen.







A new edition of Rupert Sheldrake's bestseller
The bestselling author of Dogs That Know When Their Owners Are Coming Home offers an intriguing new assessment of modern day science that will radically change the way we view what is possible. In Science Set Free (originally published to acclaim in the UK as The Science Delusion), Dr. Rupert Sheldrake, one of the world's most innovative scientists, shows the ways in which science is being constricted by assumptions that have, over the years, hardened into dogmas. Such dogmas are not only limiting, but dangerous for the future of humanity. According to these principles, all of reality is material or physical; the world is a machine, made up of inanimate matter; nature is purposeless; consciousness is nothing but the physical activity of the brain; free will is an illusion; God exists only as an idea in human minds, imprisoned within our skulls. But should science be a belief-system, or a method of enquiry? Sheldrake shows that the materialist ideology is moribund; under its sway, increasingly expensive research is reaping diminishing returns while societies around the world are paying the price. In the skeptical spirit of true science, Sheldrake turns the ten fundamental dogmas of materialism into exciting questions, and shows how all of them open up startling new possibilities for discovery. Science Set Free will radically change your view of what is real and what is possible.
Suggests that the laws of nature may not have been fixed when the universe was born, but may themselves have grown and evolved, and challenges the established views of nature as an inanimate machine
Challenging the fundamental assumptions of modern science, this ground-breaking radical hypothesis suggests that nature itself has memory. Sheldrake's hypothesis has been featured in Science, Nature, New Scientist, USA TODAY, and Newsweek. Drawings and photos throughout.
The authors' passion is to break out of paradigms that retard our evolution and to explore new possibilities. Through challenge and synergy they venture where few have gone before, leading their readers on an exciting journey of discovery. Their discussions focus on the evolution of the mind, the role of psychedelics, skepticism, the psychic powers of animals, the structure of time, the life of the heavens, the nature of God, and transformations of consciousness.
Morphic Resonance( The Nature of Formative Causation) <> Paperback <> RupertSheldrake <> ParkStreetPress

The scientific counter argument to Richard Dawkin's The God Delusion
Rupert Sheldrake, one of the world's preeminent biologists, has revolutionized scientific thinking with his vision of a living, developing universe--one with its own inherent memory. In The Rebirth of Nature, Sheldrake urges us to move beyond the centuries-old mechanistic view of nature, explaining why we can no longer regard the world as inanimate and purposeless. Sheldrake shows how recent developments in science itself have brought us to the threshold of a new synthesis in which traditional wisdom, intuitive experience, and scientific insight can be mutually enriching.
