A world of unified systems - Rated
Capra attempts to provide a conceptual framework that integrates the physical, cognitive and social dimensions in order to present a unified view of consciousness, society and life and also to develop a coherent and systemic approach to addressing the world's most pressing problems. In the first part he constructs a new theoretical framework by looking at the nature of life, the nature of consciousness and the nature of social reality. He deals extensively with networking that has become an important social phenomenon and a critical source of power in the world. The second part explores the management of human organisations, i.e. why and how these are living systems; economic globalisation; a systemic analysis of the ethical and scientific problems of biotechnology, with reference to the human genome project, and; the major problems facing the world today. The author does a good job of pointing out the unified systems that integrate the biological, cognitive and social aspects of life and of explaining how a new vision of reality is unfolding, together with the social implications of this transformation. Hidden Connections is a great read. The book contains explanatory notes, a bibliography and an index. Other interesting books dealing with this subject include Small World by Mark Buchanan and Universality by Mark Ward.
Hidden Connections: Revealed. - Rated
From the outset I was utterly hooked, it was a completely compelling read. Fritjof Capra moves from and connects deep cellular biology and the origins of cellular life through philosophy, psychology, sociology, economics, globalisation, environmentalism, social theory and anthropology with both grace and beauty finishing with light, hope and the framework of a new way of thinking. Reading this book was a truelly enlightening experience, it is highly accessable to all, and must surely rate as essential for all readers in the 21st century. The Hidden Connection inspires and educates, provokes thought and challenges the way we interact with the world and others, it is a truley awe-inspiring read that has the potential to change the way in which we live and view our planet.
