Episode notes

Wel a: If you wanted a single freejoff capra volume, this is it. It's like it's pretty much everything you've talked about in 50 years. Ariht as bani: From the sixties on, social change has always been on my mind. And so my professional life really has a dual nature, as a scientist and science writer on the one hand, and as an environmental educator and activist on the other. Wel a: Well, it's a pleasure to be on your show. Thank you.

Michael Shermer speaks with scientist, educator, activist, and accomplished author, Fritjof Capra, about the evolution of his thinking over five decades. In this conversation, based on Capra’s book, Patterns of Connection, Shermer and Capra discuss: what it means to be spiritual in an age of science, nuclear energy and why Capra thinks we don’t need it and Shermer thinks we do, 50 years of progress or regress, limitations of models and theories of reality, limitations of analogies between western physics and eastern mysticism, mind and consciousness, and why Capra is hopeful for the future of humanity.
