Uncommon Wisdom : Conversations With Remarkable People Paperback – January 1, 1989

If you ever wondered, you will find out everything you need to know about Fritjof Capra, how he thought of and wrote The Tao of Physics and all the physicists with whom he worked

As in all of his books, Fritjof Capra gives us a holistic sense of the world. In this case, he calls upon the ideas and foundations of others, incorporated into his work and thought through meetings and interviews over many years. The book is told in a rather chronological order, and shows the way that Capra developed his philosophy over the 70's and 80's through self-evaluation, critical thought, and incorporation of other philosophies. The people who contributed in this book include: Werner Heisenberg, J. Krishnamurti, Geoffrey Chew, Gregory Bateson, Stanslaf Grof, R.D. Liang, Carl Simonton, Margaret Lock, E.F. Schumacher, and Hazel Henderson, among many others. Many thanks to the author and the contributors for their depth, insight, and teachings.This book, though written entertainingly in a novelesque way, is actually quite useful for research purposes, and could easily be used as a reference.

I find that Fritjof Capra's writing to be quite superb. He takes the sciences and spirituality and interweaves them for a greater understanding of life. In UNCOMMON WISDOM, Fritjof Capra shows his journey through his thinking. I enjoyed the way Frijof Capra disintegrates the so called ridged walls of science to show a greater connection to the world, to the future and to our own self.

I have read this book twice and have read some parts of it more than twice. Conversations are lovely and give you a great deal of new ideas. Am not entirely in love with all of Capra's ideas - but this book is an absolute must read!

No book has had a greater influence on my scholarly research, community perspective, and/or understanding of complex structures. Capra gives the reader the opportunity to ascertain a semblance of clarity regarding the structures that define societies/cultures.

a most excellent work. I loved reading the thoughts of so many interesting people! and it was very well written

i'm still reading it;

Excellent information and delivery time.Thanks, Rachel Porias
