Hidden Dimensions
B. Alan Wallace introduces a natural theory of human consciousness that has its roots in contemporary physics and Buddhism. Wallace's "special theory of ontological relativity" suggests that mental phenomena are conditioned by the brain, but do not emerge from it. Rather, the entire natural world of mind and matter, subjects and objects, arises from a unitary dimension of reality. Wallace employs the Buddhist meditative practice of samatha to test his hypothesis, creating a kind of telescope to examine the space of the mind. He then proposes a more general theory in which the participatory nature of reality is envisioned as a self-excited circuit.In comparing these ideas to the Buddhist theory known as the Middle Way philosophy, Wallace explores further aspects of his "general theory of ontological relativity," which can be investigated through vipasyana, or insight, meditation. He then focuses on the theme of symmetry in quantum cosmology and the "problem of frozen time," relating these issues to the theory and practices of the Great Perfection school of Tibetan Buddhism. He concludes with a discussion of complementarity as it relates to science and religion.
The Impact of the Digital Consumer's Emotional Intelligence in Relation to the Moral Values Promoted in E-Business
The study on the impact of the digital consumer's emotional intelligence based on the moral values promoted in e-business presents an actual interdisciplinary topic in the context of the digital age. The research proposes an original approach to e-business and digital consumer in terms of moral values and emotional intelligence. The Internet has positive effects on consumers and organizations when it is used properly to improve the quality of life. New consumers are more selective, receptive and interested in new technologies. Digital consumers have the opportunity to get informed quickly about products/services offers and e-business provides a simplified acquisition process through diversity and accessibility.
Defining Love
Engages cutting-edge scientific research on love and altruism to offer a definition of love that is scientifically, theologically, and philosophically adequate.
Visions of Discovery
World-leading researchers, including Nobel Laureates, explore the most basic questions of science, philosophy, and the nature of existence.
The Astrobiological Landscape
Astrobiology is an expanding, interdisciplinary field investigating the origin, evolution and future of life in the universe. Tackling many of the foundational debates of the subject, from discussions of cosmological evolution to detailed reviews of common concepts such as the 'Rare Earth' hypothesis, this volume is the first systematic survey of the philosophical aspects and conundrums in the study of cosmic life. The author's exploration of the increasing number of cross-over problems highlights the relationship between astrobiology and cosmology and presents some of the challenges of multidisciplinary study. Modern physical theories dealing with the multiverse add a further dimension to the debate. With a selection of beautifully presented illustrations and a strong emphasis on constructing a unified methodology across disciplines, this book will appeal to graduate students and specialists who seek to rectify the fragmented nature of current astrobiological endeavour, as well as curious astrophysicists, biologists and SETI enthusiasts.
Astrobiology, Discovery, and Societal Impact
Examines humanistic aspects of astrobiology, exploring approaches, critical issues, and implications of the discovery of extraterrestrial life.
Exploring the Origin, Extent, and Future of Life
Philosophers, historians, ethicists, and theologians provide the perspectives of their fields on astrobiology for graduate students and researchers.
