About this title

Synopsis:

The Anthropic Cosmological Principle marks a new revolution in the scientific outlook. The principle states that intelligent life, its existence and observation of its surrounding universe, is essentially involved in what it discovers. This allegation has immensely important philosophical implications, which this book sets out to develop. Tracing the continuous development of a single principle from physics, through biology and psychology, it examines the case for the thesis that intelligent life is necessarily involved from the very beginnings of physical reality and that the entire process of natural evolution comes to consciousness of itself in the human mind.
