My senior year in college was immersed in a "Senior Thesis" (a requirement for graduation) whose title was: "The Meaning of Consciousness for Hegel, Kierkegaard and Sartre." The immersion was persistent during the 53 years since and prompted me to become involved in this book with enthusiasm. I was rewarded with a compelling presentation that melds the author's own spiritual/emotional experiences with quantum mechanics (including the math) in a way that lifts both into the realm of possibilities way beyond any other description I've read or read about. The final chapter almost stands by itself and it is tempting to encourage a first time reader to start there, then move on to the usual chapter sequence. My understanding of consciousness, developed so painfully 5 decades ago, has been expanded, re-molded, personalized and energized by this view. While I still don't really grasp quantum mechanics, I am pleased that it beautifully "makes sense" of much of what philosophy and religion did not. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe
For decades, neuroscientists, psychologists, and an army of brain researchers have been struggling, in vain, to explain the phenomenon of consciousness. Now there is a clear trail to the answer, and it leads through the dense jungle of quantum physics, Zen, and subjective experience, and arrives at an unexpected destination. In this tour-de-force of scientific investigation, Evan Harris Walker shows how the operation of bizarre yet actual properties of elementary particles support a new and exciting theory of reality, based on the principles of quantum physics-a theory that answers questions such as "What is the nature of consciousness, of will?" "What is the source of material reality?" and "What is God?" Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |
