The Tao of Physics

Tue, 26 May 2026 18:08:15 +0000

A pioneering work of popular science, this book explores the striking parallels between modern physics and Eastern mystical traditions such as Buddhism, Taoism, and Hinduism. Drawing on developments in quantum theory and relativity, the author—himself a trained physicist and systems theorist—argues that the emerging worldview of contemporary physics resonates with ancient spiritual insights about the interconnected and dynamic nature of reality. Written for general readers, it blends scientific explanation with philosophical reflection, inviting a holistic understanding of science and spirituality. Both an intellectual history and a cultural touchstone of the late twentieth century, it will appeal to readers interested in physics, comparative religion, and the dialogue between science and mysticism.

The Hidden Connections : A Science for Sustainable Living

The author of the bestselling The Tao of Physics and The Web of Life explores the profound social implications of emerging scientific principles and provides an innovative framework for using them to understand and solve some of the most important issues of our time. For most of history, scientific investigation was based on linear thinking. But the 1980’s brought a revolutionary change. With the advent of improved computer power, scientists could apply complexity theory–nonlinear thinking–to scientific processes far more easily than ever before. Physicist Fritjof Capra was at the forefront of the revolution, and in The Web of Life he extended its scope by showing the impact of complexity theory on living organisms. In The Hidden Connections he breaks through another frontier, this time applying the principles of complexity theory to an analysis of the broad sphere of all human interactions. Capra posits that in order to sustain life in the future, the principles underlying our social institutions must be consistent with the organization that nature has evolved to sustain the web of life. In a lucid and convincing argument, Capra explains how the theoretical ideas of science can be applied to the practical concerns of our time. Covering every aspect of human nature and society, he discusses such vital matters as the management of human organizations, the challenges and dangers of economic globalization, and the nature and the problems of biotechnology. He concludes with an authoritative, often provocative plan for designing ecologically sustainable communities and technologies as alternatives to the current economic globalization. A brilliant, incisive examination of the relationship between science and our social systems, The Hidden Connections will spark enormous debate in the scientific community and inspire us to think about the future of humanity in a new way.
