Sinossi
Nel "Tao della fisica" Capra ha denunciato i limiti e le lacune del sapere convenzionale dell'Occidente. La scienza newtoniana - che ha dominato la cultura occidentale per più di due secoli e alla quale continuano a ispirarsi non solo le scienze cosiddette esatte, ma anche numerose scienze umane e biologiche - si fonda su un pensiero lineare e riduttivo messo in crisi, nei primi decenni del nostro secolo, dagli sviluppi della nuova fisica. Questa crisi - che l'autore, riferendosi a un esagramma dell'I Ching, definisce "il punto di svolta" - dipende, secondo Capra, dalla nostra ostinazione teorica. Solo un superamento del riduzionismo ispirato a una visione olistica, ecologica del mondo potrà aiutarci a sciogliere i nodi problematici del nostro tempo. Ispirandosi a questi concetti, Capra compie una sorprendente analisi critica del pensiero riduzionistico, "cartesiano", tuttora dominante nel nostro approccio ai problemi biologici, medici, psicologici ed economici.

In "The Turning Point", Fritjof Capra, the bestselling author of "The Tao Of Physics" elucidates the perils of being obsessed with the Cartesian-Newtonian paradigm. The effect of acruthless and focused reductionist approach, Capra argues, would only result in a world that is restless, impoverished,
If I had to pick only one book to recommend for all the world leaders to read cover-to-cover, it would be this book.
