Fritjof Capra: Patterns of Connection

Join us for a virtual conversation with Fritjof Capra to discuss the evolution of his thought. In the late 1950s Capra read the work of Werner Heisenberg, a founder of quantum mechanics, and quickly intuited connections between the discoveries of quantum physics and the traditions of Eastern philosophy. The result was his bestselling book, The Tao of Physics. His synthesis, which dispensed with the mechanistic worldview of Descartes and Newton in favor of a systemic, ecological one, has provided him with a different perspective on the life sciences, ecology and environmental policy.
Six decades later, Fritjof Capra remains at the crossroads of physics, spirituality, environmentalism and systems theory. Organized thematically and chronologically, the essays in Patterns of Connection document his revolutionary and far-reaching intellectual journey.

One of the key insights of the systems approach has been the realization that the network is a pattern that is common to all life. Wherever we see life, we SEE NETWORKs. - Fritjof Capra (2002) The Hidden Connections: A Science for Sustainable Living

A great interview and talk. Learned so much as I always do from Dr. Capra. His worldview and scientific viewpoint are wonderfully pacific and inclusive. To paraphrase, It's the NETWORK, Stupid!
