(Short Version) This paper was presented as part of a panel discussion at ISEA'95 in Montreal, and published in the conference proceedings Abstract James Gleick points out in Chaos that the 20th century will probably be remembered for three great scientific revolutions: relativity, quantum mechanics, and chaos theory. With only five years to go it is probably too late for a fourth to emerge in this century, but we are seeing, in embryonic stage, the first scientific revolution of the 21st century: studies in consciousness. The claims for chaos theory are that, unlike for the preceding two revolutions, it relates to the more immediately tangible world of our experience. Studies in consciousness relates in turn to an intangible but infinitely more intimate world: our being. 3,000 words |
