Product Description
Synopsis
Laszlo, director of the General Evolution Research Group, introduces the foundations of a unified theory of the world in this treatise on the new sciences. He delineates the principles of a new physics of universal conductivity and puts forth the corresponding metaphysics, discussing the implication

Astounding synthesis
30 Jun 2006
Format:Paperback
This book is mind-boggling in its scope and erudition. I can't speak to the eventual consensus validity of its proposals, but I can say it's a very pleasing tour of huge swathes of cutting edge science and beats me to the page on many big ideas connecting biology, physics, and consciousness research. If you're interested in the "new physics," evolutionary theory and or consciousness studies, or all three as I am, you'll love this book.

Stunning!
21 Dec 2006
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
Not only is the book stunning; so is the fact that only 2 other souls have been moved to submit reactions. Laszlo's effort to integrate what is known about the spectrum of existence ... from the subquantum to quantum to living systems to conscious levels ... is beyond expectation or even imagining! Unlike too many other authors these days, Laszlo doesn't blithely claim that "science" has "proved" his ideas or something on which his thesis depends, he admits it is, as yet, an untested hypothesis. But what an hypothesis! How thoroughly explicated! How thoroughly examined his building blocks! If I hadn't read this 2003 publication, I might have dusted off his 2005 publication, Science and the Akashic Field, as inadequately founded in fact. Happily, I had read it and I'm convinced that Laszlo has come closer than anyone else who has recently tried it to at least approach a "theory of everything." Right after finishing this one, I read John Lamb Lash's Not in HIS Image, which explains the folly of politically-motivated salvationist religion and how it has eventuated in the ecodisaster we see before us. Here's what I think we need to do. Lock these two geniuses in a room and tell them to figure out what's happening and tell us what to do to survive the mess we've made before we let them out. If some object to this idea as being somehow unethical, we could at least plead that they write a book together, pooling their incredible wisdom and intuition, because between the two of them, they just might be able to help us make the needed corrections in cultural behavior.

Great read
21 Nov 2007
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
This short book outlines Ervin Laszlo's vision of an Integral universe. He draws together quantum mechanics, complexity and realtivity describing the underlying quantum coherence that links them all together through a psi field so we see sub atomic physics, living systems, human consciousness and the fartherest galaxy are all linked together to make a cohesive whole. I would recommend first reading "Science and the Re-enchantment of the Cosmos" unless you already have a good grounding in current scientific thought as it introduces the topic in less technical terms. Having said that it is still quite readable.
