	Fritjof Capra's Perspective: A Crisis of Perception (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Taking up Capra's own definition of consciousness this means that he is suggesting that there is both danger and opportunity in our imbalanced thinking and values.
		Capra's theory identifies three fundamental characteristics that are features of all living systems: structure, pattern and life process.
		Capra's unifying theory also suggests that mind and matter are fully inter-related and inter-connected, and that 'the relationship between mind and matter is a relationship between process and structure'.

	THE EMERGING NEW CULTURE with FRITJOF CAPRA, Ph.D.
		CAPRA: Well, in the schools they say that you can't teach management the way they used to teach it, because the problems that arise today cannot be neatly pigeonholed as problems of finance, marketing strategy, research and development.
		CAPRA: I think it is. I must tell you I know that you have done a lot of studies in that, and I'm not so interested in it professionally, just simply because you can't do everything, so this is the part that I've not devoted much energy and interest to.
		CAPRA: Right, in any kind of organization, and especially in organizations that work for social change, the level of consciousness, where we talk about meaning and values and ethics, is the one that is really the driving force.

	Is There a Purpose in Nature? - Fritjof Capra
		CAPRA: We want to discuss whether the concept of purpose is useful and meaningful in science to understand the organization and behavior of non-human living systems.
		CAPRA: It also seems to me that the core of President Havel's statement is the reference to the loss of meaning, of the experience of context, of wholeness.
		CAPRA: But even if you were not aware of the dynamic nature of this whole, it would still be nice to belong.

		Capra: I see a key role for Japan because the more holistic, ecological traditions were not just presented in pre-industrial Japan but are still existent in Japan to some degree, to a stronger degree than they are in the West.

	Fritjof Capra: Metaphysics Philosophy of Fritjof Capra Tao of Physics, Quotes
		Fritjof Capra, a fine Philosopher of Science, wrote the Tao of Physics in 1975, exploring the connection between modern physics (quantum theory) and Eastern mysticism / philosophy.
		Fritjof Capra is correct that matter can not be separated from activity, the error of modern physics has been in the conception of Motion as the motion of Matter ('subatomic particles') rather than the wave motion of Space.
		Deep Ecology is rooted in a perception of reality that goes beyond the scientific framework to an intuitive awareness of the oneness of all life, the interdependence of its multiple manifestations and its cycles of change and transformation.

	Fritjof Capra's "The Web of Life"
		Capra's whole approach is based on the premise that earlier schools of science falsely attempted to force their subjects into mechanistic, easily quantifiable models, in opposition to the holistic awareness of today's scientific revolutionaries.
		Indeed, the emphasis on cooperation is a keynote of Capra's vision.
		Likewise, he believes that the Darwinian vision of struggle for survival aided by chance mutations is refuted by the discovery that microorganisms can in effect cooperate by passing genetic material from one to another across species lines--a discovery that he feels calls into question the entire notion of separate species.

	Fritjof Capra's Tao of Physics, S-matrix & quark model
		This is why Fritjof Capra's popular book concerns us, and why, once Capra's thinking proves inadequate, we shall use it as a starting point to construct our own parallels between philosophy and physics -- as we do here presently.
		Fritjof Capra's exposition of the parallels between Eastern philosophy and modern physics in his The Tao of Physics starts with the dominant trends in contemporary physics -- quantum field theory and relativity -- and then moves into the less prevalent trend of S-matrix and "bootstrap hypothesis".
		This mutual containment or implication in hadrons of one another is what Capra refers to as the essentially dynamic nature of the hadronic structure given by the S-matrix.

		Widely acclaimed author Fritjof Capra is ideologically opposed to global capitalism, but a fervent supporter of systems approaches.
		Fritjof Capra has been railing against the evils of the global economy for decades since leaving his chosen field of high-energy physics to become an author and activist.
		With its intentionally oversimplified notions of biology, the biotech industry, in Capra's view, is clearly on the wrong path to achieve its goals, whether they be curing disease or improving agricultural practices.

	Fritjof Capra's Perspective: A Crisis of Perception (Site not responding. Last check: )
		The essence of Fritjof Capra's 'new paradigm' view of sustainability is that it is very much related to consciousness and our perceptions.
		In fairly simple terms, he suggests that our failure to live sustainably is the result of our failure to generate an accurate understanding of the way things are.
		To Capra the state of the world that we have created around us and which we are struggling to deal with, reflects a 'crisis' in our perception.

	Book review of Fritjof Capra (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Capra views the world as an integrated whole.
		Everything else is a survey of mostly neglected biological theories, and that is the real value of the book: Bertalanffy's system theory, cybernetics, self-organization theories, dissipative structures, symbiogenesis, the mathematical foundations of complex systems and even fractal geometry, and lots of Maturana and Varela.
		Capra outlines his three key criteria for life: a pattern of organization (autopoiesis), a structure (a physical embodiment of the pattern of organization, which must be a dissipative structure), a process (the process of organization, or mind, which is no longer a thing but the process of life itself, i.e.

	The Tao of Physics - Fritjof Capra
		In the process, we gain a clear and fascinating picture of how such seemingly disparate areas of thought are ultimately quests for the same kind of understanding.
		"Science does not need mysticism and mysticism does not need science, but man needs both." --Fritjof Capra, Ph.D. Their paths to the truth could not be more different--but the amazing thing is that, in their own ways, the mystics and the scientists are discovering the same truths about our world.
		In non-technical language, with no complex mathematics or formulae, this thought-provoking program explores the main concepts and theories of modern physics, the revelations coming from particle accelerators and laboratories--and compares them with the ancient tenets of Hinduism, Buddhism and Taoism.

		With that aside, this book is not quite convincing as Capra attempts to draw these parallels into an overall unified theory, and unfortunately he is quite a dry and repetitive writer.
		Capra tends to explain the same concepts again and again is slightly different ways, in an attempt to beef up the book, only to reveal the shaky foundation on which these concepts stand.
		It is here Capra ends his book on the S-matrix theory and the bootstrap hypothesis, which states that the world cannot be understood as an assemblage of entities which cannot be analyzed further.

		Capra compares the concepts of the new physics of the twentieth century to the concepts of Eastern mysticism, finding that they share a similar description of the Universe.
		Under its banner Capra juggles Mahayana Buddhism, Zen Buddhism, Hinduism, Taoism, the Yin-Yang philosophy and the I Ching, which would make one wary because of the great differences between them.
		However, Capra disregards them as religions, for he is really only concerned with certain aspects of their thought.

	Fritjof Capra and E.F. Schumacher: What Matters Most
		Fritjof Capra had risked his career as a theoretical physicist to embark on an investigation of a comprehensive paradigm shift that he saw emerging from the paradoxical findings of modern physics.
		Fritjof Capra's dialogue with E. Schumacher launched us into the far-reaching exploration of the relationship between science and spirituality that appears on the pages of this issue.
		The first, Fritjof Capra's engaging account of his meeting with Schumacher in 1977, excerpted from his book Uncommon Wisdom, illustrates how two bold critics of the classical scientific worldview—both of them ardent proponents of a new vision for humankind—can differ so fundamentally about how to approach the way ahead.
