Book Description
Philosophical and religious attempts to give a systematic account of the universe have largely been abandoned in favour of science. However, the scientific picture of reality is faced with a number of seemingly insurmountable problems, not least in its attempts to explain the phenomena of life and mind. Dissenting biologists since the 19th century have contested the orthodox view of biological organisms, including the human, as mere biochemical machines. Currently, considerable scientific attention is focused on the problem of how consciousness can arise from the lifeless particles and quantum mechanical waves taken by physics to be the ultimate constituents of the world.
Geoffrey Read has developed an original theory addressing these issues, of which this book is the first extended presentation. Read's theory is a rational synthesis reconciling science, philosophy and religion - in a new theory of matter, life and mind. It offers a new approach to bridging the gulf between science and the spiritual in an integrated account of both the material and non-material worlds.
