In This Remarkable Treatise, Professor Schafer shares his
conclusions from a lifelong search for evidence -- from quantum
science -- of the existence of a transcendent part of physical
reality. With a view as wide as the cosmos and as infinitesimal as
the electron, he combines disciplinary thought from science,
philosophy, religion, and ethics to address the educated generalist
and layman with a profound look at existence.
When modern science adopted objectivity and experimental testing
as operational principles, the ensuing advances in the physical
sciences first clashed with, and then destroyed, the world view of
the ruling religious mythologies. A general disorientation resulted
and a schism evolved in society, disconnecting the world of facts
from the world of values. In a disastrous way the covenant which
all religious mythologies claimed existed between humanity and
nature was broken, and it seemed to many that life itself was
rendered meaningless in the process.
However, twentieth-century science has discovered -- in quantum
phenomena -- a part of physical reality which, in contrast to the
mechanical world of classical science, has all the characteristics
of a transcendent reality Now the foundation of the material world
is discovered to be nonmaterial, the constituents of real things
are found to be not real in the same way as the things that they
make, and non-local, faster-than-light influences are found to
pervade a universe whose nature is mindlike.
Braving controversy, Professor Schafer concludes that the
discovery of the phenomena of quantum mechanics has established a
new covenant -- between the human mind and the mindlike background
of the universe -- one thatprovides a home again to the homeless
and meaning to seemingly pointless life. In this new understanding
of the world, the universe must be assumed to have a moral as well
as a physical order, and facts and values derive, again, from a
single source.
