Beyond a Materialist Worldview Towards an Expanded Science Harald Walach

The world today is dominated by science and its largely unexamined philosophical assumptions. These are associated with a mechanistic and a materialistic worldview where humans are just complex biological machines devoid of free will and living in a purposeless universe. The Galileo Commission Report seeks to open up public discourse and to find ways to expand the scope of science so that it is no longer constrained by an outmoded view of matter and physical reality, and can explore and accommodate significant human experiences, especially evidence indicating that consciousness may go beyond the brain.
