In "Uncommon Wisdom," Capra charts the cultural, scientific and philosophical landmarks behind that intellectual odyssey through his conversations with some quite remarkable people: with Werner Heisenberg he explodes the myths of atomic physics, and searches for spiritual freedom alongside J. Krishnamurti; he pinpoints the nature of mental illness with R. D. Laing, and of ecological principles with E. F. Schumacher and Hazel Henderson, while Indira Gandhi stimulates his understanding of feminism in traditional Indian society.
