Fritjof Capra (born February 1, 1939) is an Austrian-born American physicist, systems theorist, and ecological thinker. He is best known for his 1975 book 'The Tao of Physics', which explores parallels between modern physics and Eastern mysticism. Capra advocates for deep ecology and systems thinking, integrating science, society, and ecology. His works, including 'The Turning Point' and 'The Web of Life', have influenced global environmental movements and interdisciplinary studies. He co-founded the Center for Ecoliteracy in Berkeley, California, promoting sustainable education. Capra's ideas have sparked both acclaim and criticism, but he remains a key figure in paradigm shift discourse. more
