The Self-Creating Universe: The Making of a Worldview Kindle Edition

by J.J. Clarke (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
4.7 4.7 out of 5 stars 4 ratings
See all formats and editions

The Self-Creating Universe is a wide-ranging attempt to bring science and spirituality together in a philosophical synthesis. It opens up to the reader exciting new developments in the natural sciences while also showing how these contribute to a worldview which addresses fundamental philosophical and social questions. The key concept is creativity, in both nature and human life. Making use of ideas from the history of philosophy and from recent speculations in sciences including cosmology and evolution, the book offers bold conjectures about the emergence of new forms of order and self-organisation in nature, in consciousness and in human life as a whole. The book is written in an accessible style which is designed to appeal to both the general reader and to specialists interested in the wider implications of their fields.

5.0 out of 5 stars A well presented atheist "theology".

I enjoyed the author's sensible arguments for his theory of self-creating universe. Although I found his conter-arguments against divine and similar concepts a little too detailed, I can recommend his book as reasonable and revealing atheistic theory.

5.0 out of 5 stars What a Wonderful Worldview.
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on January 14, 2014

I have heard John Clarke lecture on several occasions and have always come away with new ideas and new insights. The width of his reading, the breadth of his knowledge and the depth of his understanding are astonishing. He also has a gift for communicating his panoramic view of the history of ideas to others. In short, he has a beautiful mind.
So this book was an opportunity to spend not just an occasional hour in the man's company, but days. It swept me along on a wonderful intellectual adventure and made me acutely aware that, despite thinking that I was quite well informed, I have actually missed out on some of the most important developments in science and philosophy of the last two decades.
This book has brought me up to speed. It was the most exciting book I read in 2013 and has given me a reading list that will keep me occupied for most of 2014.
