A New Science Of Life by Rupert Sheldrake
The Hypothesis of Formative Causation
The book introduces the concept of morphic resonance, a hypothesis suggesting that natural systems, such as cells, plants, animals, and even societies, inherit a collective memory from all previous things of their kind. This idea challenges conventional scientific views by proposing that memory is inherent in nature and that these systems are influenced by fields that contain the cumulative information of past forms and behaviors. The author explores the implications of this theory for understanding biological development, evolution, and the nature of consciousness, suggesting a more interconnected and holistic view of life.
