Life Forces - Formative Forces: Methodology for Investigating the Living Realm (Art & Science) - Softcover

Dorian Schmidt describes a series of practical exercises that can help us extend our ability to perceive the nature of living things. He gives a clear account of the methodology underlying this work, and describes several findings illustrative of observations in the realm of living forces. Scientists are currently bringing a whole series of new ideas to bear on our understanding of life. These range from very refined models based on neo-Darwinism through to Creationist ideas adhering closely to biblical texts. Within this broad spectrum, Intelligent Design (ID) occupies a religiously neutral middle position.

Dorian Schmidt was born in 1953 in Chemnitz and absolved his Abitur in Kassel. Having initially studied with the aim of Biochemistry, he switched to a more practical-living relationship with nature: After training as a gardener and arborist in a nursery, he worked many years as a gardener. Since 1993 has been developing an methodological approach to the perception and cognition of life and formative forces.
