About Sheldrake

According to the dogmas of science, all reality is material or physical. The world is a machine, made up of dead matter. Nature is purposeless. Consciousness is nothing but the physical activity of the brain. Free will is an illusion. God exists only as an idea in human minds; imprisoned within our skulls. But should science be a belief-system, or a method of enquiry?

‍
These are questions Dr. Rupert Sheldrake, biologist and author, addresses in his most recent book "The Science Delusion". Born in 1942, Sheldrake studied natural sciences and philosophy at Cambridge and Harvard. He earned a PhD in biochemistry and served as director of biochemistry and cell biology at Clare College, Cambridge.

The British biologist and author conducted successful telepathy experiments and researches "fields of consciousness". He is convinced that purposeful intentions have an effect beyond the physical body of the person and that intentions of other people can also be perceived. Inspired by the scientific thoughts of Goethe, Rupert Sheldrake, developed his hypothesis of morphogenetic fields and morphic resonance. Leaving the level of matter science and thus a level of limitations of causal connections searched only in the material. Sheldrake's revolutionary theses are discussed by the scientific community worldwide.

The G10 invites Dr. Rupert Sheldrake to speak about his latest book, in which he shows that the materialist ideology is moribund; under its sway, increasingly expensive research is reaping diminishing returns. In the sceptical spirit of true science, Sheldrake turns the 10 fundamental dogmas of materialism into exciting questions, and shows how all of them open up startling new possibilities.
