Ervin Laszlo
Ervin Laszlo (1932) is a Hungarian-born philosopher of science who has previously held professorships in philosophy, systems science, and futurology. In 1970, he received the highest doctorate from the Sorbonne, the University of Paris, and has been awarded honorary doctorates from the United States, Canada, Finland, and Hungary. He has received several international peace awards and was nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize in 2004 and 2005.
He is engaged in areas such as systems theory and the integral approach, which is increasingly sought after today.
In his book *Science and the Akashic Field: An Integral Theory of Everything*, László develops the hypothesis that there is a field of information in which everything in the universe can be ‘read.’
He compares this field—a dimension alongside the physical—to Akasha (Sanskrit for ‘space’), the “Akashic Field.” He argues how this hypothesis can address various problems arising from quantum mechanics, particularly issues related to ‘non-locality.’ Additionally, he presents this “theory of everything” as a solution to the conflict between science and religion.
Laszlo states, “Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world. Indeed, it is the only thing that ever has.”
“At this global crossroads, we are in control of our own destiny. We must realize this and put it into practice. Our health, well-being and even our survival depend on it. We can thank the pandemic for opening the path to a global transformation. Now the way is clear for creating a better world, one that fulfills the power and potential of the human spirit.”
