Frontiers

Of crucial importance for our time is the frontier for education, for the media, and for science.

Here we'll announce -- and put you directly in touch with -- pioneering new books and papers by the leading American, European, and Asian scientists, educators, and media activists who comprise the Council for The Darwin Project.

We'll also share informal progress reports from these leading edge thinkers and doers as well as bits and pieces from other places where mind, heart, and soul is feeling our way from the world-as-it-is toward the world-we-want.

Brief descriptions are followed by a URL to click on to read and sample.

Marcus Anthony.  Good book review of The Great Adventure: Toward a Fully Human Theory of Evolution (SUNY Press, 2004). With editing and chapters by eleven members of the General Evolution Research Group (GERG) and the Darwin Project Council (Loye, Csikszentmihalyi, Laszlo, Salthe, Eisler, Bradley, Christakis, Bausch, Goerner, Montuori, Combs and Richards), this book explores frontiers for everything from cosmic and biological to moral and spiritual evolution, consciousness and action.

LEADING EDGE REPORTS

Raymond Trevor Bradley on the science of intuition. GERG and Darwin Project Council member Ray Bradley has come up with a major breakthrough in our understanding of how we are linked to one another in advancing, or driving backward, human evolution. This is a technical paper beyond the capacity of most of us to comprehend. But still just the attempt may surprise you — particularly if you look at the interactions for the two circles of waves, one moving out from each of us to interact with the other for what comes back to us from all the rest of the world.

Ken Bausch on the relation of science and religion.  This paper, recently published in World Futures: The Journal of General Evolution by GERG and Darwin Project Council member Ken Bausch, is one of the best we've seen on the relation of science to religion in terms of their functions in evolution.
