The Tao of Physics by Fritjof Capra
The Tao of Physics is a classic study of the prominent similarities between Eastern mysticism and modern physics. The central premise of the book is that the ancient and mystical traditions of the East hold a rational theoretical skeleton, which can accommodate the advanced Western theories of the modern world.The author mostly compares the modern theory of quantum physics to the beliefs and practices of Hinduism, Buddhism and Taoism. In this way, he establishes a strong connect between the two different schools of thought.
Born in Vienna in 1939, Fritjof Capra has a Ph.D. in Theoretical Physics. He is also a science writer. He co-founded the Center for Ecoliteracy in 1994 and teaches at the Schumacher College in UK.
