Decades later, it still stands up to scrutiny, explicating not only Eastern philosophies but also how modern physics forces us into conceptions that have remarkable parallels. Covering over 3,000 years of widely divergent traditions across Asia, Capra can't help but blur lines in his generalizations. But the big picture is enough to see the value in them of experiential knowledge, the limits of objectivity, the absence of foundational matter, the interrelation of all things and events, and the fact that process is primary, not things. Capra finds the same notions in modern physics. Those approaching Eastern thought from a background of Western science will find reliable introductions here to Hinduism, Buddhism, and Taoism and learn how commonalities among these systems of thought can offer a sort of philosophical underpinning for modern science. And those approaching modern physics from a background in Eastern mysticism will find precise yet comprehensible descriptions of a Western science that may reinvigorate a hope in the positive potential of scientific knowledge. Whatever your background, <I>The Tao of Physics</I> is a brilliant essay on the meeting of East and West, and on the invaluable possibilities that such a union promises. <I>--Brian Bruya</I> 1637223 book 1975 The Tao of Physics: An Exploration of the Parallels Between Modern Physics and Eastern Mysticism total:1044|5:319|4:371|3:273|2:57|1:24| 1044 4036 1632 117 10238 1570625190 9781570625190 905 96 3.87 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1166153142m/10238.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/10238.The_Tao_of_Physics 1 3 false Sat Dec 22 11:52:17 -0800 2007 Sat Dec 22 12:31:04 -0800 2007
