Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. What are we, really?Not merely what we are as individuals with names and stories - but what are we as a phenomenon of biology and chemistry and physics? As an improbable arrangement of atoms that can, against all odds, wonder about its own arrangement?The Evolutionary Transcendence is a swee…ping popular science journey through the full arc of existence - from the quantum indeterminacy of the first fraction of a second after the Big Bang, through four billion years of biological evolution, through the rise and fall and moral learning of human civilizations, to the open and urgent question of what comes next.In four chapters, this book explores: Whether the universe is deterministic or genuinely open - and why the answer shapes everything that followsThe cosmic history that produced our Sun, our planet, and the first living moleculesThe evolutionary origins of human consciousness, fear, empathy, and moral emotionHow civilizations built - and repeatedly destroyed - the conditions for human flourishingThe extraordinary arc from "survival of the fittest" to the humanitarian inversion of the modern worldThe futures that await us: interplanetary life, artificial intelligence, the search for extraterrestrial consciousness, and the existential risks that could end the storyBut this is not only a science book. Written by a scientist who was also formed in the Vedantic philosophical tradition, The Evolutionary Transcendence weaves together evolutionary biology, cosmology, moral philosophy, and the ancient insight that the universe emerged from joy - and that its deepest tendency is toward the recovery of that joy.Drawing on Darwin, Heisenberg, the Taittiriya Upanishad, Gandhi, the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, and the latest research in astrobiology and AI safety, Dr. Adak builds an argument that is simultaneously scientifically grounded and spiritually alive: that the arc of evolution - cosmic, biological, and civilizational - bends toward more consciousness, more compassion, and more of what the ancient tradition calls Ananda.Not inevitably. Not automatically. But as the direction in which the universe has always been reaching - and in which we, if we choose wisely, can continue to go. This item is printed on demand. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.
