A new science of life
the hypothesis of formative causation
Book • 1981
Rupert Sheldrake's "A New Science of Life" proposes the controversial theory of morphic resonance, suggesting that nature is organized by fields of influence that extend beyond physical objects.
This theory challenges conventional biological understanding by suggesting that inherited characteristics are influenced by a collective memory of past forms.
Sheldrake's work has been met with both criticism and support, sparking debates about the limitations of traditional scientific paradigms.
The book explores the implications of morphic resonance for various biological phenomena, including evolution, development, and behavior.
It challenges the materialistic view of life and proposes a more holistic and interconnected understanding of the natural world.
