The trailblazer of new science and a contemporary of Thomas Merton investigate the parallels between new paradigm thinking in science and religion that together offer a remarkably compatible view of the universe.
PERTENECER AL UNIVERSO

Fritjof Capra, el pionero de la nueva ciencia, y Steindl-Rast,
considerado el Thomas Merton de nuestros días, estudian los
paralelismos entre las ideas "NUEVO PARADIGMA" en la
ciencia y en la religión, que, combinadas, ofrecen una visión
notablemente compatible del universo.

Este diálogo arréja luz sobre vínculos nuevos y sorprendentes
entre la ciencia y la experiencia de Dios. Como expertos en
sus campos (Capra, en la física teórica y en la teoría de
sistemas; Steindl-Rast, en la espiritualidad actual), han
llegado más allá de sus especialidades a un punto de
encuentro. El resultado es este libro, en el que descubren una
compatibilidad entre el pensamiento científico y la
experiencia religiosa, donde los show more descubrimientos de la ciencia
y la sabiduría de la espiritualidad arrojan visiones
convergentes sobre la naturaleza última de la realidad. Lo que
fue El Tao de la Física para los años setenta promete serlo
Pertenecer al Universo para los noventa.

FRITJOF CAPRA (doctor en Física por la Universidad de Viena), físico y
teórico del sistema, autor de los "best-sellers" internacionales El Tao de
la Fisica, Punto crucial y Uncommon Wisdom, es fundador y presidente
del Instituto Elmwood, centro de estudios ecológicos con sede en
