Can anyone please suggest me any other books that are as strong in philosophy as the above author ? I found my whole line to thought change after his books.
Thanks

I'm not sure if this would be up your alley, but I highly recommend Synchronicity, Science, and Soul-Making by Victor Mansfield. It presents an alternative paradigm to our materialistic, objective worldview drawing from Jungian psychology, Buddhist philosophy, and quantum physics. If you don't mind a slight blend of psychology and physics with your philosophy, you might enjoy reading it. It really helped further develop my perception of the world. :-)

Well, just as a side-note, Wei wu Wei is a Chinese philosophy, not a person. If you want to read more about it, you could go to wikipedia and type it in, or amazon, and do a search for it. I imagine there are at least a couple books on the subject.

Hmm...actually, I took your advice, Child_of_Light, and the first thing that shows up is, indeed, a person. From http://www.weiwuwei.8k.com/ :

"This site is intended as a resource for those interested in or curious about Buddhist/Taoist philosopher and essayist Wei Wu Wei. It includes extracts from eight books originally published between 1958 and 1974. It also contains essays published in various periodicals during the same period. The material is primarily metaphysical speculation, and is not representative of any particular sect or tradition, though it draws upon many. It is doubtful whether this site would be of use or interest to those seeking introductory material on Buddhism or Taoism."

It contains many links to text, or at least appears to. I'll be honest, I just glanced over it.

Thanks dan, I guess I stand corrected. However, I do think feynman may find Wei Wu Wei to be an interesting philosophy, especially if he's interested in Taoism, as its quite similar.
