商品の説明
内容説明
A fierce attack on globalism -- and a manifesto for change -- by one of the world's leading scientific writers. Recent scientific discoveries indicate that all life -- from the most primitive cells, up to human societies, corporations and nation-states, even the global economy -- is organised along the same basic patterns and principles: those of the network. However, the new global economy differs in important aspects from the networks of life: whereas everything in a living network has a function, globalism ignores all that cannot give it an immediate profit, creating great armies of the excluded. The global financial network also relies on advanced information technologies -- it is shaped by machines, and the resulting economic, social and cultural environment is not life-enhancing but life-degrading, in both a social and an ecological sense. Capra demonstrates conclusively how tightly humans are connected with the fabric of life and makes it clear that it is imperative to organise the world according to a different set of values and beliefs, not only for the well-being of human organisations, but for the survival and sustainability of humanity as a whole.
著者について
Capra received his PhD in theoretical physics from the University of Vienna and has done research in high-energy physics at several European and American universities. He has written and lectured extensively about the philosophical implications of modern science and is the author of The Tao of Physics, The Turning Point, Uncommon Wisdom and The Web of Life. Currently Director of the Center for Ecoliteracy in Berkeley, California, he lives in Berkeley with his wife and daughter.

生命システムの進化や特徴を非線形力学（複雑系科学）・認知科学（オートポエイシス論）・プロセス・ネットワークの観点から説明した上で、人間組織・グローバル資本経済・バイオテクノロジー・ビジネスへの考察を行っている。生命・自然に備わっているサステイナビリティー（持続可能性）を人間社会に取り戻そうという点が最大の論点。現在のグローバル経済がいかに異常であるか、また、バイオテクノロジーがいかに危険であるかがよく説明されている。そして、人々が生態系を十分に理解し（エコリタラシー）、自然に即したデザイン（エコデザイン）を実践しようという主張を、説得力をもって展開している。

As wide-ranging and thoughtful as Capra's other books.
2005/2/23
形式:ペーパーバック
This is a valuable successor to Capra's earlier books, all of which seek to discuss matters of critical societal and ecological concern within the framework of scientific analysis and understanding.
The book is in two parts. The first three chapters provide a brilliant summary of current thinking about the nature of life, mind and consciousness, and social reality as an emergent property of social organization seen as a complex adaptive system. It's very good but not easy to read. The remaining four chapters and epilogue can be read separately, although they rely on the theories in the first part. They form a wide-ranging critique of the current governance of organisations and of globalisation, with what amounts to a very detailed case study of how these structures produce the fundamentally dishonest and very dangerous commercial drive to GM foods. The final chapter offers broad guidelines for reshaping the current political and economic framework to bring economic incentives into harmony with the needs of society and the natural world.

This is an eye opening book
2006/10/22

As in Capra's other books, he provides a easy to understand and compelling look at living systems. In this book he takes a substantial leap forward in providing a broad based look at the evolution of the field and the impact on systems that we are now experiencing in our world. He also provides examples and references to successful examples of what we can do if we have the will to do so. What a powerful reference and one that I refer to regularly. If there was but one book to understand living systems and how the science has evolved and the impact on our world, please read this book. I can not recommend it more highly.

A blueprint for sustainable thinking
2008/6/14
形式:ペーパーバック
Capra attempts to connect biological models with cognition and social structures. It has inspired me to think about media in new, ecological terms. This is a great book for defining paradigms. The first section, which focuses a lot on technical biological science lays the groundwork for the rest of the book. Gene and cell networks can be applied to how cultures and societies are structured. Some chapters are truly scary (such as the section on biotechnology), and others are very uplifting (like the chapter "Changing the Game"). This book is a must have for people looking for a sustainable blueprint to the future.
