The Universal Organism with Rupert Sheldrake, Ph.D.
The so-called "laws of nature" may actually be more like habits and instincts than immutable and inviolable principles. Rupert Sheldrake, biologist and author of the controversial A New Science of Life, suggests that from this perspective all of creation may be viewed as a living organism. This ancient concept challenges the notion of the universe as a mechanism with God as the great mechanic. From the Thinking Allowed Series with Dr. Jeffrey Mishlove. posted 3/18/99

A New Science of Life with Rupert Sheldrake, Ph.D.

From the Thinking Allowed Series with Dr. Jeffrey Mishlove. posted 3/18/99

Mavericks of the Mind by David Jay Brown
Rupert Sheldrake is best known for his controversial theory of "formative causation" which implies a non-mechanistic universe, governed by laws which themselves are subject to change. Born in Newark-on-Trent, England, Rupert studied natural sciences at Cambridge and philosophy at Harvard, where he was a Frank Knox Fellow. He took a Ph.D in biochemistry at Cambridge in 1967, and in the same year became a Fellow of Clare College, Cambridge. He was Director of Studies in biochemistry and cell biology there until 1973. posted 3/18/99
