Synopsis

Penned by a renowned physicist and recipient of the Right Livelihood Award, this study underscores the significance of science in terms of comprehending society today. Taking on the common mechanistic conception of the world, the book asserts that this way of rationalizing can change through the findings of modern physics. It stresses the importance of the human race experiencing themselves not only as parts but as participants in the cosmos, focusing on relationships instead of material possessions. Pleading for a more integral analysis of everyday life, this discussion demonstrates surprisingly new ways of thinking, emphasizing that the development of the future depends on the world’s inhabitants. This bilingual edition is written in both English and German.
