The turning point

Science, Society, and the Rising Culture
Book • 1981
In 'The Turning Point', Fritjof Capra examines the scientific and economic crises of the modern world through the lens of systems theory.

He argues that the Cartesian, Newtonian, and reductionist paradigms are inadequate for guiding human behavior and policy in the face of contemporary challenges.

Capra advocates for a new vision of reality that incorporates holistic principles, integrating Western and Eastern approaches to psychology, psychotherapy, and ecology.

The book addresses various fields including physics, biology, psychology, and economics, and proposes a future economic philosophy that is fundamentally humanistic and ecological.
