- A dialogue between Dr Àlex Gómez-Marín and Dr Rupert Sheldrake
In his 12-part online course, recently launched in an online on-demand format, Rupert Sheldrake argues that the sciences are being constricted by ten assumptions that have hardened into dogmas. In this course he turns the dogmas into questions and examines them scientifically in the light of advances in the sciences themselves. For example, the dogma that nature is mechanical becomes the question “Is nature mechanical?”; the dogma that matter is unconscious becomes “Is matter unconscious?”; the dogma that minds are confined to brains becomes “Are minds confined to brains?” This mind-transforming course is based on Rupert’s award-winning bestselling book The Science Delusion (called Science Set Free in the US) and makes these ideas accessible to scientists and non-scientists alike. Alex and Rupert will discuss some of the ways in which the sciences could be liberated and revitalized.

The first edition of The Science Delusion was a game changer for me when I first read it. So glad to hear that it’s being updated and republished for more to enjoy.
Thank you Rupert, Alex and the Pari Center.
This is a fantastic dialogue and my introduction to Rupert Sheldrake, but just my introduction! He has voiced in the most succinct way, points of view that I have been grasping toward for years. Thank you Pari Center!
Mr Rupert you are brilliant! Many thanks for your continual contributions to human evolution! I would love to see you gather a team of open minded scientist … 1 or a few from each field of science to bring all the sciences together & see what you find as a team? ♥️
We are at a turning point in science much like the latter part of the 19th century when old paradigms are collapsing. Very few scientists take philosophy seriously unless measurable experiments show a new way of thinking is superior. The perihelion of Mercury was such a moment as was Pauli’s use of relativity to explain the fine structure of spectra. Now we are beginning to understand that materialist reductionism is a failed paradigm and people are talking about the primacy of relationships instead of objects and properties. Ontic structural realism is an example as is the QBism of Christopher Fuchs. In biology process philosophy is gaining prominence daily. Holism, or the assertion that there is no finitistic description of reality, is also gaining a serious foothold. The universe as a machine is dying out, and not too soon. Rupert Sheldrake and Àlex Goméz-Marin are living examples of this new wave. As Thomas Kuhn aptly pointed out, old paradigms die out one funeral at a time.
time stamps will be helpfull
Haven't we, dear Rupert, spent many centuries in arduous
work of knowledge to overcome our early human
status of the oppressively dark inner state of horror in
the face of the hostile world?
Have we here in Europe worked hard for nothing to
finally move into the age of enlightenment at the beginning
of the 18th century?
Now you come along and want to work to ensure that
people have their souls chained to the rocks with wrought
iron chains again?
