The Conscious Universe: Parts and Wholes in Physical Reality
Completely updated and revised, this book explores the implications for physics and philosophy of a strange, recently discovered fact of nature: that particles can be "entangled" over enormous distances, and that measurements made on one of the entangled particles appears to have instantaneous effects on the other.

Full Description
This book discusses the implications for philosophy of recent experimental results that confirm some counterintuitive aspects of the way matter behaves. The authors suggest that consciousness can no longer be divorced from the problem of the way science operates, and the book concludes by making the case that this entails a new way of understanding the universe that could obviate much of the current conflict between science and religion while providing at the same time a basis for valuation that is better suited for coordinating all human experience.
