Hearts and MindsReclaiming the Soul of Science and Medicine\nAuthor(s): Walter Alexander\nFormat: Paperback\nPublisher: SteinerBooks, Inc, United States\nImprint: Lindisfarne Books\nISBN-13: 9781584209195, 978-1584209195\nSynopsis\nThe world, we are told, is made up of particles and forces. Evolution, impelled by the single purpose of survival, is guided by chance through natural selection -- survival of the fittest. DNA, from the core of each cell, directs the chemical-mechanical unfolding of life. Consciousness and self are mere artefacts of the brain?s firing neurons, it is argued. The great scientific revolution of the last five hundred years, with its technological glories and medical miracles, has arrived at the above set of summary conclusions -- or some slightly tweaked variations -- depicting a random, indifferent and wholly impersonal cosmos. But it is a picture that has been fraying at the edges for some time. Progress in medicine, quantum physics, open-systems biology, .
