Margenau boldly examines the complex issues of the mind-body problem, consciousness, the nature of thought, science and religion, and universal mind. Using his profound understanding of modern science-physics, evolutionary biology, and psychology-as well as his own pricisely developed concepts of epistemology, he draws together an understanding of science, philosophy, and religion that creates a coherent whole, a metaphysics for the atomic age. Few other contemporary thinkers possess the breadth of understanding to attempt the synthesis achieved in this work.
Henry Margenau is Professor Emeritus of Pysics and Natural Philosophy at Yale University. After a career as a distinguished theoretician in both molecular and nuclear physics, Professor Margenau began an investigation of the philosophical foundations of natural science. His many works include The Nature of Physical Reality and Einstein's Space and Van Gogh's Sky (with L. LeShan).
