I enjoyed the more 'down to earth' chapters on pigeon homing for example. Not so keen on the mathematical discourses into Plank's Constant and the like though I appreciate that he talks frankly about open minded detachment not really being how things are done in science. ( ) > Babelio : https://www.babelio.com/livres/Sheldrake-Sept-Experiences-qui-peuvent-changer-le... > Nous avons de bonnes raisons de croire, me semble-t-il, que l’esprit n’est pas localisé dans le cerveau, mais qu’il s’étend comme un champ de force au-delà de l’espace et du temps. Je m’appuie à cet égard sur la pensée de Rupert Sheldrake dont l’oeuvre majeure est à ce jour The Presence of the Past (New York : Times Books, 1988). Elle a été traduite en français sous le titre La Mémoire de l’univers (éditions du Rocher). Ses conversations plus informelles avec Michel Fox sur la science et la spiritualité parues sous le titre Natural Grâce (New York : Doubleday, 1996) peuvent également séduire les lecteurs. Sheldrake est le seul à proposer des expériences ingénieuses susceptibles de prouver l’existence du champ de l’esprit (qu’il appelle champ morphogénétique). Ses suggestions les plus récentes, auxquelles le lecteur est invité à participer, se trouvent dans son livre Seven Experiments That Could Change the World (New York : Riverhead Books, 1995). Il a été traduit en français sous le titre Sept expériences qui peuvent changer le monde (éditions du Rocher). —Deepak Chopra, 'Comment connaître Dieu', Rocher, 2001 Examines the realities of unexplained natural phenomenon and provides explanations that push the boundaries of science. • Looks at animal telepathy and the ability of pigeons to home. • Proves the point that "big questions don't need big science". • Noted scientist Rupert Sheldrake is a former research fellow of the Royal Society. • New Edition with an Update on Results. How does your pet "know" when you are coming home? How do pigeons "home"? Can people really feel a "phantom" amputated arm? These questions and more form the basis of Sheldrake's look at the world of contemporary science as he puts some of the most cherished assumptions of established science to the test. What Sheldrake discovers is that certain scientific beliefs are so widely taken for granted that they are no longer regarded as theories but are seen as scientific common sense. In the true spirit of science, Sheldrake examines seven of these beliefs. Refusing to let intellectual dogmatism influence his search for the truth, Sheldrake presents simple experiments that allow the curious and the skeptical to join in his journey of discovery. His experiments look at how scientific research is often biased against unexpected patterns that emerge and how a researcher's expectations can influence the results. He also examines the taboo of taking pets seriously and explores the question of human extrasensory perception. Perhaps most important, he questions the notion that science must be expensive in order to achieve important results, showing that inexpensive methods can indeed shake the very foundations of science as we know it. In this compelling and intelligent book, Sheldrake offers no preconceived wisdom or easy answers--just an open invitation to explore the unknown, create new science, and perhaps, even change the world. keine Rezensionen | Rezension hinzufügen
