Item description from seller

339 pages. By denying evolution altogether, says quantum physicist Amit Goswami, intelli gent design believers fly in the face of scientific data. But the idea of intell igent design does contain substance that neo-Darwinists cannot ignore. Goswami p osits that consciousness, not matter, is the primary force in the universe. Biol ogy must come to terms with feeling, meaning, and the purposefulness of life, as well as with the idea of a designer. What's more, reconciling the question of l ife's purposefulness and the existence of the designer with neo-Darwinism also a nswers many other difficult questions. The result is a paradigm shift for biolog y and the vision of a coherent whole that Goswami calls science within consciou sness. In this timely, important book, the author offers clear arguments suppor ted by the findings of quantum physics that represent a major step in resolving controversies between science and religion.

About the Author

Amit Goswami, Ph.D., was born in India and raised in the Hindu tradition. He earned his Ph.D. from Calcutta University in theoretical nuclear physics in 1964 and is professor emeritus in the physics department at the University of Oregon, in Eugene, Oregon, where he has served since 1968. He taught physics for 32 years in this country, mostly in Oregon, before fully retiring in 2003. Goswami was a senior scholar in residence at the Institute of Noetic Sciences during 1998-2000. He teaches quite regularly at the Holmes Institute and the Philosophical Research University in L.A.; Pacifica in Santa Barbara, CA; and UNIPAZ in Portugal. Goswami is a pioneer of the new multidisciplinary paradigm of science based on the primacy of consciousness called Science within Consciousness, as well as the author of the highly successful textbook, Quantum Mechanics. His two-volume textbook for nonscientists, The Physicist's View of Nature, traces the decline and rediscovery of the concept of God within science. His research has been published in scientific journals in three different fields: physics, biology, and psychology. Goswami has also written eight popular books based on his research on quantum physics and consciousness. In his seminal book, The Self-Aware Universe, he solved the quantum measurement problem elucidating the famous observer effect while paving the path to a new paradigm of science based on the primacy of consciousness. Subsequently, in The Visionary Window, Goswami demonstrates how science and spirituality can be integrated. In Physics of the Soul, he developed a theory of survival after death and reincarnation. His book Quantum Creativity is a tour de force instruction about how to engage in both outer and inner creativity. Goswami's last book, The Quantum Doctor, integrates conventional and alternative medicines. In his private life, Goswami is a practitioner of spirituality and transformation. He refers to himself as a quantum activist. The public knows Goswami perhaps the best since his leading role in the hit independent film, What the Bleep Do We Know!?. He has also appeared on numerous radio talk shows, including New Dimensions and Thinking Allowed. Goswami currently resides in Eugene, Oregon.
