{"product_id":"9781936033270","title":"Being \u0026 Biology: Is Consciousness the Life Force?","description":"Is consciousness actually the Life Force . . .the animating principle which underlies and unifies mind, body, and spirit in all living things, and which philosopher Henri Bergson termed the Elan vital? This book offers a compendium of empirical evidence and theoretical perspectives from a broad range of scholarly disciplines, which suggest that there is an unbroken, non-local, collective aspect of consciousness that links distant individuals and events--a kind of resonant connectedness that defies separation in space and time. In the words of some of the contributors . . . \"Even for the most materialistic of scientists, consciousness has a privileged position as the matrix of human knowledge, the basis of science itself.\" --Rupert Sheldrake \"The emerging view is that consciousness is fundamental in its own right and is not produced by the physical brain; . . . consciousness may be the primordial organizing force of the universe and of life itself.\" --Larry Dossey \"Henri Bergson . . . posited a vital impulse he called Elan vital that underlies the creation of all living things, a process of self-organization that he linked closely with consciousness.\" -- Brenda Dunne and Robert Jahn \"Complementarity and Complexity, ubiquitous as they are, point to the need of a new kind of scientific endeavor that simultaneously brings forth and is brought from a deeper understanding of the workings of Consciousness.\" --Vasileios Basios\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e| \u003cb\u003eAuthor: \u003c\/b\u003eBrenda Dunne, Robert Jahn, Brenda Dunne\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e| \u003cb\u003ePublisher: \u003c\/b\u003eICRL Press\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e| \u003cb\u003ePublication Date: \u003c\/b\u003eDec 01, 2017\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e| \u003cb\u003eNumber of Pages: \u003c\/b\u003e292 pages\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e| \u003cb\u003eLanguage: \u003c\/b\u003eEnglish\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e| \u003cb\u003eBinding: \u003c\/b\u003ePaperback\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e| \u003cb\u003eISBN-10: \u003c\/b\u003e1936033275\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e| \u003cb\u003eISBN-13: \u003c\/b\u003e9781936033270\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"ICRL Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46701893189937,"sku":"9781936033270","price":27.76,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0798\/8215\/8385\/files\/9781936033270.jpg?v=1690371225","url":"https:\/\/www.recomparo.com\/products\/9781936033270","provider":"ReComparo.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
