Author Description

"This book presents a collection of essays that all share a common concern with time, process and consciousness. The chapters represent a variety of different perspectives and the authors span the disciplines of psychology, mathematics, physics and psychiatry. As a whole, the collection presents a coherent view of mind as a complex, evolving, self-organizing system." "It fills a gap in the rapidly expanding field of consciousness studies by bringing the latter into focus from the perspective of another fast-growing field of inquiry, the sciences of complexity. It contains original chapters by several prominent theorists, including the late David Bohm, creator of the holographic paradigm in physics, in an essay on consciousness and meaning, which has not been previously published."--Jacket.
