Ervin László (born 1932 in Budapest, Hungary) is a Hungarian philosopher of science, systems theorist, integral theorist, and classical pianist. He has published about 75 books and over 400 papers, and is editor of World Futures: The Journal of General Evolution. Moreover, he has recorded several piano concertos. László married Carita Jägerhorn af Spurila 16 November 1956. They have two sons.
[edit] WorkIn 1984, he was co-founder with Béla H. Bánáthy, Riane Eisler, John Corliss, Francisco Varela, Vilmos Csanyi, Gyorgy Kampis, David Loye, Jonathan Schull, and Eric Chaisson of the initially secret General Evolutionary Research Group.[1][2] Meeting behind the Iron Curtain, the group of scientists and thinkers from a variety of disciplines met in secret. Given the mounting threat to the human species caused by rapid proliferation of nuclear weapons and potential overkill, their goal was to explore whether it might be possible to use the chaos theory to identify a new general theory of evolution that might serve as a path to a better world. In 1993, in response to his experience with the Club of Rome, he founded the Club of Budapest to, in his words, "center attention on the evolution of human values and consciousness as the crucial factors in changing course — from a race toward degradation, polarization, and disaster to a rethinking of values and priorities so as to navigate today's transformation in the direction of humanism, ethics, and global sustainability".[3] In an essay, Stan Grof compared László's work to that of Ken Wilber, saying "Where Wilber outlined what an integral theory of everything should look like, Laszlo actually created one."[4] [edit] Akashic Field TheoryHis 2004 book, Science and the Akashic Field: An Integral Theory of Everything posits a field of information as the substance of the cosmos. Using the Sanskrit and Vedic term for "space", Akasha, he calls this information field the "Akashic field" or "A-field". He posits that the "quantum vacuum" (see Vacuum state) is the fundamental energy and information-carrying field that informs not just the current universe, but all universes past and present (collectively, the "Metaverse"). László describes how such an informational field can explain why our universe appears to be fine-tuned as to form galaxies and conscious lifeforms; and why evolution is an informed, not random, process. He believes that the hypothesis solves several problems that emerge from quantum physics, especially nonlocality and quantum entanglement. "There is a form and level of coherence in the various domains of observation and experience that involves a quasi-instant transmission of information across space and time...I present evidence that "nonlocal coherence" is widespread in nature, occurring in the macrodomain of the universe, in the microdomain of the quantum, as well as in the mesodomain of life... I show that (i) phenomena of nonlocal coherence are logically interpreted as the transmission of a non-conventional yet physically effective form of information termed “in-formation”; (ii) this transmission is the effect of a universal field in nature; and (iii) the universal in-formation field is the scientifically identifiable functional equivalent of the fundamental metaphysical element known in Sanskrit and Hindu metaphysics as Akasha." [edit] Macroshift TheoryLászló stated in his book You Can Change the World that there is global choice for coming world crisis. One that can come in the form of a global breakdown centered on increasing fragmentation of economic inequality and a new arms race from rising powers. The other choice would be a global breakthrough led by international organizations. This would be by the linking of non-government organizations promoting sustainable development link using the internet.[5] A Macroshift is defined as a popular movement to turn the tide from a global breakdown to a global breakthrough. László sees the years 2012-2020 as a critical period to change the course as the coming crisis is taking shape in geopolitical current. [edit] Global shift UniversityHis latest project involves creating a university based on integral teaching over the internet offering a Graduate Program. Its goal is creating change accelerators which he defines as coalescing agents for social action and cultural awareness. [edit] HonorsErvin László participated in the Stock Exchange of Visions project in 2006. In Hungary, the minister of environment appointed Laszlo as one of the leaders of the ministry's campaign concerning global warming[6]. [edit] Publications
