The Tao of Physics
Book • 1975
In 'The Tao of Physics', Fritjof Capra delves into the striking similarities between the worldviews of modern physics and those of Eastern mystical traditions such as Hinduism, Buddhism, and Taoism.
The book discusses how both modern physics and Eastern mysticism describe the world as an interconnected, dynamic system, and how concepts like the unity of all things, the cyclical nature of change, and the illusory nature of separate entities are common to both.
Capra argues that these parallels offer a deeper understanding of the nature of reality and the human place within it.
The book has been widely read and has influenced discussions on the integration of science and spirituality.
