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
The elements of life are dynamic patterns of mass and energy, events rather than objects. — Fritjof Capra Copy Share Image
The basic pattern of life is a network. Whenever you see life, you see networks. The whole planet, what we can term… — Fritjof Capra Copy Share Image
The more complex the network is, the more complex its pattern of interconnections, the more resilient it will be. — Fritjof Capra Copy Share Image
Hundreds of years ago, Indian artists created visual images of dancing Shivas in a beautiful series of bronzes. In our time, physicists… — 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
Gradually, physicists began to realise that nature, at the atomic level, does not appear as a mechanical universe composed of fundamental building… — Fritjof Capra Copy Share Image
One of the key insights of the systems approach has been the realization that the network is a pattern that is common… — Fritjof Capra Copy Share Image
A diverse ecosystem will also be resilient, because it contains many species with overlapping ecological functions that can partially replace one another.… — Fritjof Capra Copy Share Image
The structure of the human brain is enormously complex. It contains about 10 billion nerve cells (neurons), which are interlinked in a… — 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 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

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 Image
Ecology and spirituality are fundamentally connected, because deep ecological awareness, ultimately, is spiritual awareness. — Fritjof Capra Copy Share Image
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 Image
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 Image
As long as we do science, some things will always remain unexplained. — Fritjof Capra Copy Share Image
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 Image
