    Rupert Sheldrake (1999a) has published a note in the previous issue of the Journal criticising our research into the ‘psychic pet’ phenomenon. Certain points arising from this criticism have also been included in his recent book, Dogs That Know When Their Owners Are Coming Home and Other Unexplained Powers of Animals (Sheldrake 1999b). This paper outlines why we believe his criticisms to be invalid

    Seven experiments that could change the world: a do-it-yourself guide to revolutionary science

    No full text
    Seven experiments are proposed in this book that the author believes, if any are successful, will alter how the reader perceives the world. The purpose of the book is to draw attention to areas of research neglected as a result of conventional habits of thought. The descriptions of the experiments are intended to focus the topics under discussion. One of the experiments in the book aims to test the hypothesis that many dogs and cats know that their owners are coming home before they actually arrive. Rupert Sheldrake has also written "The Presence of the Past" and "The Rebirth of Nature"

    In Science Set Free, Dr. Rupert Sheldrake, one of the world\u27s most innovative scientists, shows the ways in which science is being constricted by assumptions that have hardened into dogmas that are not only limiting, but also dangerous for the future of humanity --Front jacket flap.https://scholar.dominican.edu/cynthia-stokes-brown-books-big-history/1098/thumbnail.jp

    Uniwersytet Pedagogiczny im. Komisji Edukacji Narodowej w Krakowie. Wydział Geograficzno-Biologiczny. Instytut Biologii. Rozprawa doktorska przygotowana pod kierunkiem prof. dr hab. Tadeusza Puszkara.Publikacja zawiera analizę proponowanego przez Ruperta Sheldrake’a sposobu ujęcie kwestii funkcjonowania i organizacji natury. Natura to nie tylko biosfera, lecz także antroposfera, technosfera i socjosfera. Głównym czynnikiem determinującym organizację natury jest informacja (pole informacyjne). Istotny jest aspekt jakościowy, a nie ilościowy informacji - efekt przekazu danych (bitów). Według Ervina Laszlo informacja to fizyczny faktor - niekonwencjonalna, nie-wektorowa, bardziej wyrafinowaną, skalarna, fizycznie efektywna i aktywna forma „subtelnej” energii. Pole-informacja to chronologicznie pierwszy (w stosunku do energii i materii), fundamentalny czynnik odpowiedzialny za cały rozwój i formowanie się wszystkich rzeczy na wszystkich poziomach złożoności. Według Sheldrake’a pole-informacja oddziałuje na struktury fizyczne, biologiczne, społeczne etc. poprzez morficzny rezonans i kształtującą przyczynowość. Podobne ujęcie natury proponowała w Polsce w latach 70 i 80. XX wieku Teresa Ścibor-Rylska.This publication contains an analysis of problem of functioning and organisation of nature proposed by Rupert Sheldrake. Nature consists not just of a biosphere but of an anthroposphere, technosphere and sociosphere as well. The main factor determining organization of nature is an information (an information field). Important is not a quantitative but a qualitative aspect of information as a result of data transmission (bits). According to Ervin Laszlo an information is a physical factor - unconventional, non-vectorial, more sophisticated, scalar, physically effective and active form of "subtle" energy. An information field is a chronologically first (comparing to energy and matter), fundamental factor responsible for the whole development and formation of every object at every level of complexity. Sheldrake claims an information field influences physical, biological, social structures, etc. through morphic resonance and formative causation. Similar view on nature proposed Polish scientist Teresa Scibor-Rylska in the 70-ties and 80-ties of the 20th century.Uniwersytet Pedagogiczny im. Komisji Edukacji Narodowej w Krakowie.

    Por uma ciência livre de dogmas

    O biólogo britânico Rupert Sheldrake é conhecido pela hipótese dos campos mórficos, onde propõe um novo conceito de transmissão de informação no tempo e no espaço. Formado em Ciências Naturais pelo Clare College, da Universidade de Cambridge, Sheldrake estudou filosofia e história da ciência na Universidade Harvard, nos Estados Unidos. Em seguida retornou à Inglaterra para doutorar-se em bioquímica por Cambridge – onde se tornou diretor do departamento de Bioquímica, dedicando-se às pesquisas sobre o desenvolvimento de plantas e o envelhecimento celular. Por um ano, de 1968 a 1969, ele trabalhou no Departamento de Botânica da Universidade de Malaya, em Kuala Lumpur, na Malásia – localizada no sudeste asiático –, onde estudou a floresta tropical. De 1974 a 1985, foi consultor do instituto internacional de pesquisa em culturas para o clima semiárido tropical (ICRISAT, de International Crops Research Institute for the Semi-Arid Tropics), em Hiderabade, India. O contato com as culturas asiáticas teve forte impacto em seu pensamento, mas ele atribui a sua hipótese a bases mais europeias, como o pensamento do filósofo estadunidense Charles S. Pierce (1839-1914). Mais recentemente, de 2005 a 2010, Sheldrakefoi diretor do Projeto Perrott-Warrick, financiado pelo Trinity College, de Cambridge. Atualmente faz parte do corpo docente do Schumacher College, um centro de estudos avançados em Dartington, Devon, e é professor visitante do Graduate Institute, em Connecticut, nos EUA, entre outros institutos. Seu livro mais recente, The Science Delusion, com título provisório em português A Ciência da Ilusão e lançamento previsto no Brasil para março de 2014 pela editora Cultrix, toca num ponto nevrálgico: os dogmas que dominam, muitas vezes de forma inconsciente, a cultura acadêmica ocidental

    Dear Mary

    No full text
    In Dear Mary poet and painter Rupert Loydell writes about art and life and how they intersect. Fascinated by both renaissance and contemporary painting, he re-invents moments of annunciation in today's world, and revels in the colours and sunshine of Italy. This is a world of wonder and surprise, where aliens abduct the Virgin Mary, 20th century rock singers find themselves collaged together and singing about her, infinite greys (and grays) blur together between other greys, Francis Bacon paints angels, and even the weather forecast predicts the future. Above all else, this is a book which celebrates language and art, and explores how we navigate the world around us, seen and unseen; how we might wonder, explain, and begin to understand
