Science does not need mysticism and mysticism does not need science but man needs both. — Fritjof Capra Copy Share Image
Our Western science, ever since the 17th century, has been obsessed with the notion of control, of man dominating nature. This obsession… — Fritjof Capra Copy Share Image
The term "paradigm," from the Greek paradeigma ("pattern"), was used by Kuhn to denote a conceptual framework shared by a community of… — Fritjof Capra Copy Share Image
Subatomic particles do not exist but rather show 'tendencies to exist', and atomic events do not occur with certainty at definite times… — Fritjof Capra Copy Share Image
Subatomic particles have no meaning as isolated entities, but can only be understood as interconnections between the preparation of an experiment and… — Fritjof Capra Copy Share Image
“The phenomenon of emergence takes place at critical points of instability that arise from fluctuations in the environment, amplified by feedback loops.” — Fritjof Capra Copy Share Image
Mystics understand the roots of the Tao but not its branches; scientists understand its branches but not its roots. Science does not… — Fritjof Capra Copy Share Image
The influence of modern physics goes beyond technology. It extends to the realm of thought and culture where it has led to… — Fritjof Capra Copy Share Image
Before the 1940s the terms "system" and "systems thinking" had been used by several scientists, but it was Bertalanffy's concepts of an… — Fritjof Capra Copy Share Image
Bells theorem dealt a shattering blow to Einsteins position by showing that the conception of reality as consisting of separate parts, joined… — Fritjof Capra Copy Share Image
The mathematical framework of quantum theory has passed countless successful tests and is now universally accepted as a consistent and accurate description… — Fritjof Capra Copy Share Image
If physics leads us today to a world view which is essentially mystical, it returns, in a way, to its beginning, 2,500… — Fritjof Capra Copy Share Image

This spontaneous emergence of order at critical points of instability, which is often referred to simply as "emergence," is one of the… — Fritjof Capra Copy Share Image
Scientists, therefore, are responsible for their research, not only intellectually but also morally. This responsibility has become an important issue in many… — Fritjof Capra Copy Share Image
“A person functioning exclusively in the Cartesian mode may be free from manifest symptoms but cannot be considered mentally healthy. Such individuals… — Fritjof Capra Copy Share Image
Quantum theory thus reveals a basic oneness of the universe. It shows that we cannot decompose the world into independently existing smallest… — Fritjof Capra Copy Share Image
When carbon (C), Oxygen (o) and hydrogen (H) atoms bond in a certain way to form sugar, the resulting compound has a… — Fritjof Capra Copy Share Image
Whenever the essential nature of things is analysed by the intellect, it must seem absurd or paradoxical. This has always been recognized… — Fritjof Capra Copy Share Image
A page from a journal of modern experimental physics will be as mysterious to the uninitiated as a Tibetan mandala. Both are… — Fritjof Capra Copy Share Image
Both the physicist and the mystic want to communicate their knowledge, and when they do so with words their statements are paradoxical… — Fritjof Capra Copy Share Image
Tektology was the first attempt in the history of science to arrive at a systematic formulation of the principles of organization operating… — Fritjof Capra Copy Share Image
If physics leads us today to a world view which is essentially mystical, it returns, in a way, to its beginning, 2,500 years ago.… — Fritjof Capra Copy Share
“The phenomenon of emergence takes place at critical points of instability that arise from fluctuations in the environment, amplified by feedback loops.” — Fritjof Capra Copy Share
Genuine mental health would involve a balanced interplay of both modes of experience, a way of life in which one's identification with the ego… — Fritjof Capra Copy Share
Knowledge cannot be separated from a certain way of life which becomes its living manifestation. To acquire mystical knowledge means to undergo a transformation;… — Fritjof Capra Copy Share

My main professional interest during the 1970s has been in the dramatic change of concepts and ideas that has occurred in physics during the… — Fritjof Capra Copy Share
Ecology and spirituality are fundamentally connected, because deep ecological awareness, ultimately, is spiritual awareness. — Fritjof Capra Copy Share
During periods of relaxation after concentrated intellectual activity, the intuitive mind seems to take over and can produce the sudden clarifying insights which give… — Fritjof Capra Copy Share
As Eastern thought has begun to interest a significant number of people, and meditation is no longer viewed with ridicule or suspicion, mysticism is… — Fritjof Capra Copy Share
Modern physics had shown that the rhythm of creation and destruction is not only manifest in the turn of the seasons and in the… — Fritjof Capra Copy Share
The elements of life are dynamic patterns of mass and energy, events rather than objects. — Fritjof Capra Copy Share
