Quantum Anthropology

Man, Cultures, and Groups in a Quantum Perspective

Not for sale in the Czech Republic and the Slovak Republic!


"Quantum Anthropology" offers a fresh look at humans, cultures, and societies that builds on advances in the fields of quantum mechanics, quantum philosophy, and quantum consciousness. Radek Trnka and Radmila Lorencova have developed an inspiring theoretical framework that transcends the boundaries of individual disciplines, and in this book they draw on philosophy, psychology, sociology, and consciousness studies to redefine contemporary sociocultural anthropological theory. Quantum anthropology, they argue, is a promising new perspective for the study of humanity that takes into account the quantum nature of our reality. This meta-ontology offers novel pathways for exploring the basic categories of our species' being.

Reviews

"I have often pointed out that quantum, the biggest breakthrough in scientific thinking and practice of our era, was ignored by twentieth-century social science, including anthropology... This latest collection on quantum anthropology does look interesting" – Keith Hart, London School of Economics and Political Science

"The present work may be considered groundbreaking, with all strengths as well as inconsistencies" – Frantiڑek Vrhel, Charles University, Prague
