Publisher Comments:

Challenging the fundamental assumptions of modern science, this ground-breaking radical hypothesis suggests that nature itself has memory. Sheldrake's hypothesis has been featured in Science, Nature, New Scientist, USA TODAY, and Newsweek. Drawings and photos throughout.

Synopsis:

andquot;So compelling that it sets the reader to underlining words and scribbling notes in the margin.andquot;
< em > Washington Post < /em > Rupert Sheldrake's theory of morphic resonance challenges the fundamental assumptions of modern science, proposing that all natural systems, from crystals to human society, inherit a collective memory that influences their form and behavior. The Presence of the Pastpresents evidence for Sheldrake's controversial theory, exploring its implications in the field of biology, physics, psychology, and sociology.Rupert Sheldrake's theory of morphic resonance challenges the fundamental assumptions of modern science. An accomplished biologist, Sheldrake proposes that all natural systems, from crystals to human society, inherit a collective memory that influences their form and behavior. Rather than being ruled by fixed laws, nature is essentially habitual. The Presence of the Pastlays out the evidence for Sheldrake's controversial theory, exploring its implications in the field of biology, physics, psychology, and sociology. At the same time, Sheldrake delivers a stinging critique of conventional scientific thinking. In place of the mechanistic, neo-Darwinian worldview he offers a new understanding of life, matter, and mind.
