«The Presence of the Past: Morphic Resonance and the Habits of Nature» is the essay by Rupert Sheldrake, published by Park Street Press in paperback.
Rupert Sheldrake proposes that natural systems, from crystals to society, inherit a collective memory that influences their form and behavior: nature would follow habits, not fixed laws. The book presents the evidence for morphic resonance and examines its implications in biology, physics, psychology and sociology.
The work was originally published in 1988; this edition, from 1995, has 416 pages and is in English.
For readers interested in biology, philosophy of science, and the debate over evolution and consciousness.
Alfred Rupert Sheldrake is an English author and parapsychology researcher. He proposed the concept of morphic resonance, a conjecture that lacks mainstream acceptance and has been widely criticized as pseudoscience. He has worked as a biochemist at Cambridge University, a Harvard scholar, a researcher at the Royal Society, and a plant physiologist for ICRISAT in India.
