Description: "Georg Unger maintains in this book that human thinking is not limited to the thinking subject. The ability to communicate ideas and concepts from one individual to another is not based subjectively on the similarity of brain functions. Rather, when we form concepts appropriate to our experience, the content of these thoughts has to do essentially with what we think about. In other words, one's thoughts are part of the very world we want to know. Rudolf Steiner's contribution was to show that this thesis can be verified by epistemological introspection, which can strengthen our confidence in cognition"-- Provided by publisher.
Review Quotes: "In his seminal study of contemporary science, Georg Unger explores the conceptual foundations of twentieth-century physics, including quantum theory, probability, relativity, and mathematics. He does so in a way that relates them to both phenomenology and Rudolf Steiner's anthroposophy. This book can act as a model for understanding modern science from a spiritual perspective."---- Arthur Zajonc, PhD, Andrew W. Mellon Professor of Physics Emeritus, Amherst College, and author of Catching the Light and Meditation as Contemplative Inquiry
