Science, Order, and Creativity

One summer in the 1980s, theoretical physicist F. David Peat went to a Blackfoot Sun Dance ceremony. Having spent all of his life steeped in and influenced by linear Western science, he was entranced by the Native American worldview and, through dialogue circles between scientists and native elders, he began to explore it in greater depth. Blackfoot Physics is the account of his discoveries. In an edifying synthesis of anthropology, history, metaphysics, cosmology, and quantum theory, Peat compares the medicines, the myths, the languages--the entire perceptions of reality of the Western and indigenous peoples. What becomes apparent is the amazing resemblance between indigenous teachings and some of the insights that are emerging from modern science, a congruence that is as enlightening about the physical universe as it is about the circular evolution of humanity's understanding. Through Peat's insightful observations, he extends our understanding of ourselves, our understanding of the universe, and how the two intersect in a meaningful vision of human life in relation to a greater reality.

An Illustrated Guide to Chaos Theory and the Science of Wholeness

Turbulent Mirror

An explanation of the development and meaning of the Superstring Theory, intended for lay readers with no knowledge of mathematics. The theory states that everything in the universe consists of miniscule strings of ten dimensions, six of which are so tightly curled as to be invisible to us.

Superstrings and the Search for the Theory of Everything

F. David Peat is one of the most interesting and innovative thinkers around today. His latest book Pathways of Chance is a rich, inquiring and highly readable journey from the creative buzz of his native Liverpool in the sixties, to a Native American talking circle. He meets some of the most facinating minds of twentieth-century science and culture: David Bohm, Roger Penrose, Bertrand Russell, Sir Michael Tippett, Antony Gormley and Anish Kapoor. He reflects on the elusive nature of quantum reality, the way language shapes our lives, the world of the Blackfoot, and his life in a medieval Italian village. Ultimately, Pathways of Chance is a meditation upon the power of those twin forces, purpose and accident, within all our lives. Book jacket.

Pathways of Chance

This volume explores the nature of knowledge systems from the perspective of Western science, as well as from a variety of indigenous traditions. In particular, it calls into question the extreme position that assumes that Western science represents the essential truth about the cosmos with indigenous traditions being dismissed as no more than myths and stories. The preface by the book's editor, F. David Peat, (Blackfoot Physics: A Journey Into the Native American Universe) presents an overview of the content and arguments in the book, which include the issue of belittling traditional knowledge systems and the oppression suffered by traditional societies at the hands of colonizers; astronomy, the oldest human science, as written from a Navajo perspective, but including the views of other Native American groups; and an overview of the evolution of modern science beginning at the time of the Greeks.

The Life And Times Of David Bohm

Basil Hiley

David Bohm is one of the foremost scientific thinkers of today and one of the most distinguished scientists of his generation. His challenge to the conventional understanding of quantum theory has led scientists to reexamine what it is they are going and his ideas have been an inspiration across a wide range of disciplines. Quantum Implications is a collection of original contributions by many of the world' s leading scholars and is dedicated to David Bohm, his work and the issues raised by his ideas. The contributors range across physics, philosophy, biology, art, psychology, and include some of the most distinguished scientists of the day. There is an excellent introduction by the editors, putting Bohm's work in context and setting right some of the misconceptions that have persisted about the work of David Bohm

Essays in Honour of David Bohm

Quantum Implications

A daring fusion of memoir and leading edge explorations from one of the most interesting and innovative thinkers around today. From Liverpool of the Beatles, to the Blackfoot Sundance, to the medieval Italian village where he now lives, Pathways is also a highly readable exploration of the latest ideas in science, psychology, the arts. It includes the authors encounters with such figures as Bertrand Russell, David Bohm, Sir Michael Tippett, Sir Roger Penrose and Werner Heisenberg.

The first in a series of essays contributed by experts in their fields who reflect the philosophy of, and the discussions held at, the Pari Center for New Learning. While the essays have been divided into the areas of Science and Religion, Society, and the Arts, they form a unified volume since each one enriches and informs the others.
