Title: Consciousness and values in the quantum universe

Journal Article · · Found. Phys.; (United States)
DOI:https://doi.org/10.1007/BF00738736· OSTI ID:5918775

Application of quantum mechanical description to neurophysiological processes appears to provide for a natural unification of the physical and humanistic sciences. The categories of thought used to represent physical and psychical processes become united, and the mechanical conception of man created by classical physics is replaced by a profoundly different quantum conception. This revised image of man allows human values to be rooted in contemporary science.
