Rupert Sheldrake

    June 28, 1942

    Rupert Sheldrake is a biologist and author whose work delves into the development and behavior of plants and animals, telepathy, perception, and metaphysics. Drawing inspiration from philosopher Henri Bergson, he developed the theory of morphic resonance, exploring the interconnectedness of natural phenomena. Sheldrake's writing is characterized by an interdisciplinary approach, bridging scientific inquiry with philosophical contemplation. Readers will appreciate his profound explorations into the nature of reality and the living world.

Join Ralph Abraham, mathematician and leader in the new science of chaos, Terence Mckenna, shamanologist and ethno-pharmacologist, and Rupert Sheldrake, acclaimed biologist and originator of the theory of morphogenetic fields, as they "trialogue" on such questions as: - How can chaos contribute to our lives? - Is Armageddon a self-fulfilling prophecy? - How can scientists and myssstics share the same planet? Trialogues at the Edge of the West challenges us to the deepest levels of thought as it calls into question our current views of reality, morality, and the nature of life in the universe.

      What is the nature of life, and how are the shapes and instincts of living organisms determined?
