Fritjof Capra has, according to Brian Barratt 'demonstrated fascinating and valid parallels between atomic and subatomic physics and the philosophies of the ancient East'. I know very little about these ancient philosophies but I found as I read Barratt's article that I saw parallels between what he was reporting about ancient Indian images/beliefs and current educational images/beliefs. In the spirit of creativity, I attempted to draw parallels for myself. Whether they are as valid and fascinating as those of Fritjof Capra is debatable, but I offer them nonetheless to Brian Barratt. I do not know him but from his writing I suspect he would be pleased that someone felt motivated to drive her chariot temporarily down a different road. In my discussion I have italicised those terms in current educational use. |
