In contrast to other unified theories that center mainly on physics, Laszlo's embraces quantum, cosmos, life, as well as consciousness. He delineates the principles of a new physics of universal connectivity and puts forth the corresponding metaphysics, discussing the implications for such philosophical issues as the nature of matter and mind, freedom and morality, and design versus evolution. This landmark book lays the groundwork for the non-materialist and non-reductionist yet rigorous paradigm that is likely to signal the next revolution in science: the "paradigm of universal connectivity."SciencePhilosophyCosmologySciencePhilosophy.Cosmology.501Laszlo Ervin1932-343820MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910813868103321The connectivity hypothesis4124090UNINA
