Rupert Sheldrake | Der Wissenschaftswahn(+)

Zu den Favoriten hinzufügen

In diesem Vortrag („Der Wissenschaftswahn - Bestehende Paradigmen herausfordern und Werte neu definieren“) aus dem Jahr 2013 beschreibt Rupert Sheldrake die "moderne Wissenschaft" in einem wahrhaften Dilemma, die - gefangen in einem Sumpf aus Dogmen - keineswegs frei nach neuen Erkenntnissen streben kann.

So skizziert er die "moderne Wissenschaft" im Kern als "100%-ige Tochtergesellschaft" des Materialismus, die das Universum als "Maschine" betrachtet und jedweden Geist / bzw. Bewusstsein als "lästig" betrachtet, oder sogar negiert.
