Uncommon Wisdom: Conversations with Remarkable People

Description

Fusing modern science and Eastern mysticism. Chart the cultural, scientific and philosophical landmarks behind that intellectual odyssey through conversations with some quite remarkable people. (1989) 352pp

Capra has taken the ardous task of distilling wisdom from extraordinary people spanning Spirituality, Physics, Economics, Psychiatry, Medicine, Systems theory and feminism, all in this book.

The book sums up his discussions, explorations with some extraordinary minds like: Krishnamurti and Alan watts on the limitation of thought; Geoffery chew on boot strap theory;with Gregory Bateson on Systems theorywith R.D.Liang on mental illness; unconventional but ecology inclusive economics with Schumacher and Hazel Henderson; with the Late Indian prime minister Indra Gandhi on Feminism, and many more.

Interesting are Capra\'s personnel observations on the extraordinary people of this book. Capra\'s sample of extraordinary minds are those people, who could raise above the conditioned perceptive to move towards a more holistic grasp in various feilds.

By its very nature it is an open book, to be revised to include new comers, hence is incomplete. It is a meritorious effort, though it fails at times to communicate the depth of understanding and wisdom this remarkable true characters of this book seem to possess, but culminates as a good pointer to the reader who may be interested to pursue more on the original works by the characters themselves
