Hardback. Condition: Fair. Why do we exist? For centuries, this question was the sole province of religion and philosophy. But now science is ready to take a seat at the table. According to the prevailing scientific paradigm, the universe tends toward randomness; it functions according to laws without purpose, and the emergence of life is an accident devoid of meaning.   But this bleak interpretation of nature is currently being challenged by cutting-edge findings at the intersection of physics, biology, neuroscience, and information theory -- generally referred to as 'complexity science.' Thanks to a new understanding of evolution, as well as recent advances in our understanding of the phenomenon known as emergence, a new cosmic narrative is taking shape: Nature's simplest 'parts' come together to form ever-greater 'wholes' in a process that has no end in sight.   In The Romance of Reality, cognitive neuroscientist Bobby Azarian explains the science behind this new view of reality and explores what it means for all of us. In engaging, accessible prose, Azarian outlines the fundamental misunderstanding of thermodynamics at the heart of the old assumptions about the universe's evolution, and shows us the evidence that suggests that the universe is a 'self-organizing' system, one that is moving toward increasing complexity and awareness.   Cosmologist and science communicator Carl Sagan once said of humanity that 'we are a way for the cosmos to know itself.' The Romance of Reality shows that this poetic statement in fact rests on a scientific foundation and gives us a new way to know the cosmos, along with a riveting vision of life that imbues existence with meaning -- nothing supernatural required.…

Condition: Very Good. : En 'El romance de la realidad', el neurocientífico cognitivo Bobby Azarian explora una nueva narrativa cósmica que desafía la visión tradicional del universo como un sistema aleatorio y sin propósito. A través de los hallazgos más recientes en física, biología y teoría de la información, el autor explica cómo el fenómeno de la emergencia permite que las partes más simples de la naturaleza se autoorganicen para formar estructuras cada vez más complejas, dotando a la vida y a la conciencia de un significado intrínseco.Esta obra, que combina rigor científico con una prosa accesible, propone una visión fascinante donde el cosmos se conoce a sí mismo a través de la humanidad. Es una lectura esencial para quienes buscan comprender la ciencia de la complejidad y el papel fundamental que desempeñan la vida y la conciencia en la evolución del universo, sin recurrir a explicaciones sobrenaturales.
