Я добавлю, если можно.
Из отзывов на книгу Уилбера A Brief History of Everything:
On page 219 we find this: "If you take somebody from the magic or mythic worldview, and you try to explain to them that the sum of the squares of a right triangle is equal to the sum of the squares of the hypotenuse, you won't get very far." Well, of course not, because you will not be making any sense at all!...
И:
I just couldn't get through this book. By trying to claim this was about everything, it covered nothing, save perhaps new age woo.
I knew it was going to be bad when he made up a new word for a meaningless concept. He claims that everything is both a whole, onto itself, and a part of something larger, called a "holon". I admit I have a pet peeve against authors that make up new words because they are not aware that other people have perfect good words that mean the same thing.
He completely lost me, and I am certain many intelligent people who know anything at all about Biology, when he said that very few theorist believe in Darwin's theory about chance mutation and natural selection. (Page 20, he really said that!) Yes, yes, we do. And if he wants to propose an alternative hypothesis (in science it doesn't get to be called a theory until after you prove it) then he better have some extraordinary new evidence, because natural selection IS the generally accepted theory.
