Notis 296, 10-11-2012, Ny bok av Bob Jahn och Brenda Dunne, Quirks of the Quantum Mind, en bok som inte erbjuder någon kvantfysisk ’förklaring’ av medvetandet, utan något mycket mer radikalt, ”att kvantmekaniken är både en reflektion och en produkt av ”the mind”, fundamentalt intuitiv och beskriver en verklighet där vi är en integrerande komponent. ”/GB
Från Bob Jahn& Brenda Dunne har vi fått följande mejl: ICRL Press is pleased to announce the publication of our latest book, Quirks of the Quantum Mind, by Bob Jahn and Brenda Dunne, an expanded version of the 1986 PEAR technical note titled ”On the Quantum Mechanics of Consciousness, with Application to Anomalous Phenomena” that was published under the same title in abbreviated form in Foundations of Physics.
This book does not offer a quantum mechanical ’explanation’ of human consciousness. Rather, it proposes something far more radical: namely, that quantum mechanics, like any other model of human representation, is both a reflection and a product of the mind, is fundamentally intuitive, and describes a reality of which we are an integral component. In a certain sense, it might be viewed as a textbook on the psychology of atomic phenomena. An extensive Appendix presents quotations from the philosophical writings of many of the patriarchs of modern physics, indicating that the role of consciousness in physical reality was central to their thinking as they hammered out the mechanics that would change the face of 20th-century science.
The book is now available from Amazon.com: http://tinyurl.com/ajrfh5g or
BarnesandNoble.com: http://tinyurl.com/b6pom3z as are all our other ICRL Press publications. An e-book version will be available by the end of November from Google Play.
