Third Culture, The Participatory Science as the Basis for a Healing Culture

By: BARNES, JOHN MICHAEL

Price: $22.50

Publisher: United States, Adonis Press: 2010

Seller ID: 10083

ISBN: 093277640X

Binding: Paperback

Modern science, with its causal and quantitative methods, has provided the basis for our technologically-driven society. But the technological prowess that has brought us incredible wealth and power has also led to the exploitation and degradation of nature. In addition, the reductive methods of modern science have left us without any scientific understanding of our own immediate experience: of the creative human spirit, or of the qualitative richness and dynamic wholeness of natural phenomena. Retracing the evolution of human consciousness, this lively essay shows how participatory methods ar...

Taking Appearance Seriously The Dynamic Way of Seeing in Goethe and European Thought.

By: BORTOFT, HENRI

Price: $40.00

Publisher: United Kingdom, Floris Books: 2012

Seller ID: 12338

ISBN: 0863159273

Binding: Paperback

b/w diagrams
The history of western metaphysics from Plato onwards is dominated by the dualism of being and appearance. What something really is (its true being) is believed to be hidden behind the 'mere appearances' through which it manifests. Twentieth-century European thinkers radically overturned this way of thinking. 'Appearance' began to be taken seriously, with the observer participating in the dynamic event of perception. In this important book, Henri Bortoft guides us through this dynamic way of seeing, exploring issues including how we distinguish things, how we find meaning, a...

Thinking Outside the Brain Box Why Human Beings Are Not Biological Computers

By: BOS, ARIE

Price: $49.99

Publisher: Floris Books:

Seller ID: 14809

ISBN: 1782504281

New! Published September 2017
Is it our brain that produces consciousness? Many people, including most scientists, hold such a belief, based on a purely materialistic concept of the world. Such a worldview sees the brain as a kind of biological computer. However, modern research shows that our experiences—especially during childhood and youth—shape the circuits of our brain and even stimulate the brain to grow. Thus, to an extent, we shape our own brain just by being alive and experiencing the world. It is through our brain that we develop as a person and form our “self...

Science and the Paranormal Altered States of Reality

By: ELLISON, ARTHUR J., FONTANA, DAVID

Price: $48.95

Publisher: United Kingdom, Floris Books: 2002

Seller ID: 717

ISBN: 0863153682

Binding: Paperback

Illustrations
In facts, not fiction, this book presents the case for the paranormal. Changing the way we look at the universe is not easy, and requires a true openness to exploration and experiment. Professor Ellison suggests that most of us are conditioned by our Western science-based education to think that the universe is much simpler and 'material' than it really is. He argues that we should recognize the limits of the current scientific worldview which fails to account for genuine paranormal experiences, including phenomena such as out-of-body experiences (OBE), reliably reported by...

Feeling for the Organism, A

By: EVELYN FOX KELLER

Price: $29.90

Publisher: W. H. Freeman and Co:

Seller ID: 10017

ISBN: 0805074589

In her lifelong study of heredity in corn Barbara McClintock achieved insights into hereditary patterns that were far ahead of her times. In this well researched, beautifully written biography, Evelyn Fox Keller asks: “What enabled McClintock to see further and deeper into the mysteries of genetics than her colleagues?” McClintock’s answer is simple. Over and over again, she tells us one must have the time to look, the patience to “hear what the material has to say to you,” the openness to “let it come to you.” Above all, one must have “a feeling...

Time, Light and the Dice of Creation Through Paradox in Physics to a New Order

By: FRANSES, PHILIP

Price: $62.99

Publisher: Floris Books:

Seller ID: 14223

ISBN: 178250172X

The laws of modern physics are seen as the bedrock of our understanding of the material world that surrounds us. Newton's and Maxwell's mathematics reliably describe behaviour and events in the world, and have given us the age of technology from telephones to space travel.Yet the founders of modern scientific thought, such as Einstein, Bohr, Heisenberg and Pauli, struggled to pin down the paradoxical concepts they needed to present 'workable' theories, as the subatomic and quantum world began to reveal its mysteries. At the height of the debate about the nature of matter, Einstein famously obj...

Theory of Colours

By: GOETHE, JOHANN WOLFGANG VON, EASTLAKE, C.L.

Price: $76.00

Publisher: United States, MIT Press Ltd: 1970

Seller ID: 10084

ISBN: 0262570211

Binding: Paperback

By the time Goethe's Theory of Colours appeared in 1810, the wavelength theory of light and color had been firmly established. To Goethe, the theory was the result of mistaking an incidental result for an elemental principle. Far from pretending to a knowledge of physics, he insisted that such knowledge was an actual hindrance to understanding. He based his conclusions exclusively upon exhaustive personal observation of the phenomena of color. Of his own theory, Goethe was supremely confident: "From the philosopher, we believe we merit thanks for having traced the phenomena of colours to t...

Publisher: United Kingdom, Floris Books: 2007

Seller ID: 641

ISBN: 0863155960

b/w illustrations
This book is presented by an acclaimed author in his field. It challenges the ideas of our modern scientific culture and its far-reaching consequences for how we understand and relate to the natural world.
Our scientific culture, which gave birth to modern technology, is in desperate need of change. Science has largely meant groups of specialists working in separate disciplines, seeking answers to narrowly defined questions which have little or nothing to do with the living world. The last few years, however, have seen a shift to a more integrated, holistic approac...

Publisher: United Kingdom, Thames & Hudson Ltd: 1982

Seller ID: 12522

ISBN: 0500810303

Binding: Paperback

202 illustrations
The thinkers of ancient Egypt, Greece and India recognized that numbers governed much of what they saw in their world and hence provided an approach to its divine creator. Robert Lawlor sets out the system that determines the dimension and the form of both man-made and natural structures, from Gothic cathedrals to flowers, from music to the human body. By also involving the reader in practical experiments, he leads with ease from simple principles to a grasp of the logarithmic spiral, the Golden Proportion, the squaring of the circle and other ubiquitous ratios and prop...

Man or Matter An Introduction to a Spiritual Understanding of Nature on the Basis of Goethe’s Method of Training Observation and Thought

By: LEHRS, ERNST

Price: $69.99

Publisher: Rudolf Steiner Press:

Seller ID: 13003

ISBN: 1855843897

In this third, enlarged edition of Lehrs’ classic study, the reader is led, step by step, to a spiritual-scientific method of investigation. The author demonstrates how one can transcend the boundaries of the physical-material world, to the metaphysical origins of nature and the human being. This is a pioneering new method of training both the mind and eye, as well as other human senses, leading to a transformation from our modern ‘onlooking’ consciousness to a new kind of ‘participative’ consciousness.
The beginnings of this method were formulated by Goethe (...

Phenomena-Based Physics, A Vol. 3 for Grade 8

By: MANFRED VON MACKENSEN

Price: $29.90

Publisher: Waldorf Publications:

Seller ID: 10020

These books were written for class teachers in Waldorf Schools. At the same time, however, they can also serve as an introduction to a phenomena-centered study of physics for anyone interested in pursuing this approach. Von Mackensen is very careful in his methodology. As is appropriate for students of this age, he seeks to give them a broad and diverse experience of the phenomena. Developing an interest in and familiarity with the phenomena is the primary concern. Only gradually, after rich experience has been gathered, do theoretical considerations come into play.

Each of the three ...

By: MARTI, ERNST

Price: $45.00

Publisher: Temple Lodge:

Seller ID: 14781

ISBN: 1912230054

Ernst Marti devoted his life to researching the ‘etheric realm’ – a subtle area that exists between the physical and spiritual. Taking the numerous statements and references by Rudolf Steiner as his starting point, Marti develops our understanding of the etheric world in various fields – from the theory of knowledge to the natural world, through to music, the realm of colours, eurythmy and medicine. In doing so, he proposes exciting bridges from the ancient and medieval worldview to the present and future of natural and spiritual science.
