Synopsis de l’éditeur
From the reviews: "Stapp's book is a bold and original attack on the problem of consciousness and free will based on the openings provided by the laws of quantum mechanics. This is a serious and interesting attack on a truly fundamental problem." Tony Leggett, Physics Nobel Laureate (2003) "In his new book, Stapp insists that the "causal closure of the physical", in particular concerning quantum theory, is an untenable myth. He elaborates on ideas of Bohr, von Neumann, Heisenberg and, from a philosophical point of view, James and Whitehead to sketch a complex picture in which the physical and the mental are emphatically conditioned by each other. Stapp's wide-ranging proposal offers stimulating reading, a strong sense of conceptual coherence and intuitive appeal, and empirical predictions that deserve to be refined and tested." Harald Atmanspacher A highly readable book of genuine wisdom by one of the foremost minds for our generation. The paradoxical enigma of consciousness and matter has been tackled by virtually every modern philosopher and many scientists as well. Unfortunately most philosophers have grounded their thinking in century old physics while most scientists fail to understand the nuances of philosophical thought. Here a foremost quantum physicist speaks to us not only from a profound understanding of physics, but with a sophistication about consciousness and philosophy of mind that few short of William James and Alfred North Whitehead have sustained. The result is a radical rethinking of issues as fundamental and vital as free will, ethics, the mind-body problem, and the dimensions of human nature itself. Allan Combs, CIIS Editor of Mind in Time: The Dynamics of Thought, Reality, and Consciousness "Stapp has devoted some of the 17 chapters of the book to arguments for the need to use quantum theory in neuroscience, explanations of his theory, and discussions of the consistency of his theory with the ideas of William James and Alfred Whitehead. ! This book has been written in a style that is clearly meant to make the book widely accessible! . Henry Stapp's theory is worthy of attention, and this book provides a good introduction to it." (Imants Baruss, Journal of Scientific Exploration, Vol. 21 (3), 2008) "In this book Stapp tackles the 'mind-body problem' (or rather the 'mind-matter' problem). ! The book is certainly an enjoyable read (I read it in one sitting) ! . Philosophers of mind should read this book because it frequently discusses elements of the contemporary debate in novel ways, and may trigger some entirely new debates. It will also provide a nice entree into quantum theory ! . Those interested in the philosophical foundations of physics will no doubt find it enjoyable ! ." (Dean Rickles, Mathematical Reviews, Issue 2008 g) Lire la suite...
