Tao of Physics: An Exploration of the Parallels between Modern Physics and Eastern Mysticism by Fritjof Capra

Fritjof Capra explores parallels he sees between modern physics and Eastern mystical traditions in The Tao of Physics. His comparative discussion draws on Buddhism, Hinduism and Taoism, bringing scientific ideas into conversation with philosophical and spiritual perspectives.

This fiftieth-anniversary edition includes a new preface, updated afterword and postscript by the author. For readers interested in the meeting of science and philosophy; Capra’s proposed parallels are an interpretation, not proof that physics establishes the claims of a spiritual tradition.
