The systems view of life \u2013 a unifying vision (part 2)<\/a><\/h3>\n

In this episode I have the great honor of connecting with scientist, educator, activist, and author\u00a0Fritjof Capra<\/strong>P.hd. He was born in Vienna, and studied physics and systems theory, and became well known for his first book,The Tao of Physics\u00a0<\/em><\/a>(1975). In this book, and in his subsequent work, he has\u00a0explored the ways in which modern physics has\u00a0changed our worldview from a mechanistic to a holistic and ecological one. Synthesizing various schools of thought and practice has been on of his prime interests. Together with his friend and colleague Professor\u00a0Pier Luigi Luisi<\/a>, who has also been a guest on this show, he has published a groundbreaking book titled\u00a0the\u00a0Systems View of Life \u2013 A Unifying Vision\u00a0<\/em><\/a>(2014). We base our dialogue on the perspectives put forth in this book, and with a special emphasis on how his work ties into that of Arne N\u00e6ss and deep ecology. Also, I\u2019m glad to announce that Capra will be in Norway May 19, at the\u00a0University of Nordland, Bod\u00f8<\/a>. He will also conduct a 6-week teaching tour through Europe in relation to the publication of his book, so check his\u00a0schedule<\/a>\u00a0for more information on this. Feel free to contribute with your own reflections below the interview, and please share this resource with people who might be interested.<\/p>\n

(4:00) Ove Jakobsen and ecological economy<\/strong>
\nConnecting to the Norwegian context, Capra mentions his friendship with Professor\u00a0Ove Jakobsen<\/a>\u00a0at the University of Nordland, Bod\u00f8. Jakobsen has been an important advocate for ecological economics, or circular economics, and it\u2019s this dialogue and exploration they intend to investigate further when they meet in May. Capra points out that\u00a0the ideas embedded in the systems view of life\u00a0correspond in many ways to what Jakobsen has found out in his own field of study.<\/p>\n
