“This is a splendid, beautifully written book which might well serve as an inspiration for humanity as we face the new millennium. The authors present an approach to the study of human consciousness and values that should captivate and satisfy concerned religious people as well as the scientifically oriented. Building on the work of Roger Sperry, they demonstrate how an understanding of the role of emergence and downward causation in the evolution of increasingly complex, dynamic, self-organizing systems can provide the grounding for a more authentically scientific and spiritually rewarding study of the human condition than has yet been available.”–
“What an exciting and worthwhile book. The material is accessible, the ideas timely, the insights profound, and the vision inspiring. A must for all those concerned about the future.”–
“The book is well written and most readable.”–
“This book can be a revolution. It might give us the key to our survival and even further unfoldment and fulfillment in the next millennium.”–
Product Description
Stover and Erdmann argue that the crises threatening civilization can be solved only by adopting ethical systems more compatible with science. They examine Nobel Laureate Roger W. Sperry's ideas about consciousness and ethics, which, by reconciling science and religion and reinstating subjective experience into scientific views of the world, promise precisely that.
