Fritjof Capra’s groundbreaking exploration of the parallels between modern physics and eastern mysticism.
‘It is probably true quite generally that in the history of human thinking the most fruitful developments frequently take place at those points where two different lines of thought meet.’ Werner Heisenberg
An international bestseller which has sold over one million copies worldwide, The Tao of Physics is a classic exploration of the connections between Eastern mysticism and modern physics.
The book’s central thesis, that the mystical traditions of the East constitute a coherent philosophical framework within which the most advanced Western theories of the physical world can be accommodated, has not only withstood the test of time but is ever more emphatically endorsed by ongoing experimentation and research.
Fritjof Capra addresses recent scientific developments in this, the third edition, in the form of a chapter-length afterword on ‘The Future of the New Physics’.

Quotes

  • samairaveerabhadrahas quoted4 years ago
    It seems probable to me that God in the beginning formed matter in solid, massy, hard, impenetrable, movable particles, of such sizes and figures, and with such other properties, and in such proportion to space, as most conduced to the end for which he formed them; and that these primitive particles being solids, are incomparably harder than any porous bodies compounded of them; even so very hard, as never to wear or break in pieces; no ordinary power being able to divide what God himself made one in the first creation.
  • samairaveerabhadrahas quoted4 years ago
    Absolute knowledge is thus an entirely nonintellectual experience of reality, an experience arising in a nonordinary state of consciousness which may be called a meditative or mystical state
  • samairaveerabhadrahas quoted4 years ago
    From the unreal lead me to the real!

    From darkness lead me to light!

    From death lead me to immortality!

    Brihad-aranyaka Upanishad
