Although our ancestors saw the world as "alive", the view of nature as an inanimate storehouse of resources has dominated for several hundred years bringing with it massive abuse of the living world. The author explains how new developments in science show that such a viewpoint is no longer valid.

Revue de presse

"This frontal assault on conventional science embodies a radical rethinking of humanity's place in the scheme of things." (Publishers Weekly)

The Rebirth of Nature is a breakthrough book, beautifully written and spiritually oriented. It shows our intimate relationship with the universe--that we are a part of a breathing, living, thinking cosmos and that intelligence is a pervasive reality inseparably one with nature. This book will take everyone who reads it to new heights of understanding.” (Deepak Chopra, M.D., author of Ageless Body, Timeless Mind)

"A beautifully written, deeply felt, and sinuously argued challenge to many habits of thought." (Booklist)

Biographie de l'auteur

Rupert Sheldrake, one of the world’s foremost biologists, has revolutionized scientific thinking with his vision of living, developing universe with it’s own inherent memory. In The Rebirth of Nature Sheldrake urges us to move beyond the centuries-old mechanistic view of nature, explaining in lucid terms why we can no longer regard the world as inanimate and purposeless. Through an astute critique of the dominant scientific paradigm, Sheldrake shows how recent developments in science itself have brought us to the threshold of a new synthesis in which traditional wisdom, intuitive experience, and scientific insight can be mutually enriching.
