Items related to Biology Revisioned
Biology Revisioned presents an engaging look at the changing state of biology and proposes that we reconsider our views of science and life. Harman and Sahtouris suggest that it is an historical accident that physics came to be the generally accepted root discipline of science. If, for example, biology were instead the foundation, life sciences would be analyzed in a complete different way. We would need to look at wholes (organism and ecological systems) prior to parts (fundamental particles). The book examines several theories of “new biology”—simply adding new tool to the current definition and a moderately holistic outlook—but focuses on an even more radical holistic view which assumes the possible presence of consciousness as an underlying layer of physical reality. The authors also suggest that the scientific perspectives of non-Western cultures are invaluable to a complete understanding of science—that Western ideals are no complete without these views.

Review:
Harman and Sahtouris take us on a highly readable journey to the frontiers of the new biology to demonstrate the life and consciousness are integral to the creative process of the cosmos. In so doing, they provide a profound and deeply provocative look at the choices humanity now faces. A seminal contribution to redefining contemporary social and scientific inquiry."
—Dr. David C. Korten, author of When Corporations Rule the World
