Description
Rupert Sheldrake's groundbreaking theory challenges the fundamental assumptions of modern science. He proposes that all self-organizing systems, from crystals to human societies, inherit a collective memory that influences their form and behaviour. According to Sheldrake, nature is essentially habitual, with individual memory depending on morphic resonance rather than physical memory traces stored within the brain. This fully-revised and updated edition of The Presence of the Past summarizes the evidence for Dr Sheldrake's controversial theory, reviews new research, and explores its implications for biology, chemistry, physics, psychology and sociology. In place of the mechanistic worldview that has dominated biology since the nineteenth century, this book offers a revolutionary alternative, opening up a new understanding of life, minds and evolution.
