Summary

Defining the phenomenon of morphic resonance as the process whereby organisms' past forms and behaviors influence organisms of the same kind in the present through direct connections across time and space, Rupert Sheldrake reinterprets the regularities of nature as being more like habits than immutable laws and calls into question many fundamental concepts about life and consciousness. The first edition of this book created a furor when it appeared, provoking the outrage of the "old guard" scientific community and the approbation of the new. A lively debate ensued, as researchers devised experiments testing Sheldrake's hypothesis, and these developments are recorded in this revised and expanded edition.
 
Definiendo el fenómeno de la resonancia mórfica como el proceso mediante el cual formas y conductas de organismos pasados influyen organismos presentes del mismo tipo, Sheldrake reinterpreta las regularidades de la naturaleza como algo que se asemeja más a hábitos que a leyes inmutables y cuestiona muchos conceptos fundacionales sobre la vida y la conciencia. La primera edición de este libro creó un furor cuando fue publicada, provocando un escándalo en la comunidad científica tradicional y una aprobación en la nueva. Le siguió un debate avivado, durante el cual investigadores diseñaron experimentos para poner a prueba la hipótesis de Sheldrake, y estos desarrollos están documentados en esta edición revisada y expandida.
