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." 606 $aScience$xPhilosophy 606 $aCosmology 615 0$aScience$xPhilosophy. 615 0$aCosmology. 676 $a501 700 $aLaszlo$b Ervin$f1932-$0343820 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910813868103321 996 $aThe connectivity hypothesis$94124090 997 $aUNINA
