Product Description A Nobel prize winner, a great man and a great scientist, Erwin Schrödinger has made his mark in physics, but his eye scans a far wider horizon: here are two stimulating and discursive essays which summarize his philosophical views on the nature of the world. Schrödinger's world view, derived from the Indian writings of the Vedanta, is that there is only a single consciousness of which we are all different aspects. He admits that this view is mystical and metaphysical and incapable of logical deduction. But he also insists that this is true of the belief in an external world capable of influencing the mind and of being influenced by it. Schrödinger's world view leads naturally to a philosophy of reverence for life. Book Description A Nobel prize winner, a great man and a great scientist, Erwin Schrödinger has made his mark in physics, but his eye scans a far wider horizon. Review: Review - Bold attempt of Nobel laureate to explain limitations of pure sciences and at same time utility of metaphysics to fill those limitations. A very balanced book. Review: Excellent Book! - Excellent book! Must read

'श्रोडिंगर की बिल्ली' से हर वह शख्स वाकिफ है जो आधुनिक भौतिकी और क्वांटम यान्त्रिकी की जानकारी रखता है । बीसवीं सदी के शीर्ष दिमागों में से एक श्रोडिंगर भौतिकी के इतर अन्य प्रश्नों पर क्या सोचते थे, यह जानना रोचक और उपयोगी है । यह किताब यही बताती है ।

Masterpiece
Small yet takes so long to read, and months to absorb. Every sentence is packed with so much content and thought. This book profoundly changes the way we think and reason. It is probably the only book you ever need to read to understand meaning of existence and of life.

Thought Provoking
If you're interesting in theology and philosophy, then this author should be someone who you're familiar with. If not, it's time to discover him. Popularised in many people's mind by the Cat Theory, he proposes parallel universes and all possibilities existing simultaneously. This is just one theory and there's more theories within theories and plenty more. There's a certain seemingly pretentious style to his writing similar to Freud, but it's comprehensible enough. Recommended!

Explores the parallels between quantum mechanics and ancient Indian philosophy
Schrödinger was an Austrian physicist who read widely and thought deeply about the teachings of ancient Hindu and Buddhist scriptures, especially the Vedanta and Upanishads. He also laid the foundations for molecular biology and the nature of DNA in his book What is Life. His work founded the field of quantum mechanics, and his 1926 wave equation is universally recognized as one of the greatest achievements of 20th century physics. By 1960, more than 100,000 papers had appeared based on the application of Schrödinger’s wave equation. His wave equation is recognized as one of the greatest achievements of 20th century physics and a mathematical tool of unprecedented power. The ideas he discusses in this little book explore parallels between quantum mechanics and ancient Indian philosophy.

Bad print quality
I am genuinely disappointed with the print quality. I have always associated Cambridge University Press with excellence in both content and production standards. It surprises me that they would release something of this quality. Do they not inspect their products before shipping?

A very interesting read
A very interesting text incorporating views on evolution, consciousness and Eastern mysticism. Worth reading without doubt.
