Synopsis "Embracing Mind: The Common Ground of Science and Spirituality "

What is Mind? For this ancient question we are still seeking answers. B. Alan Wallace and Brian Hodel propose a science of the mind based on the contemplative wisdom of Buddhism, Hinduism, Taoism, Christianity, and Islam.The authors begin by exploring the history of science, showing how science tends to ignore the mind, even while it is understood to be the very instrument through which we comprehend the world of nature. They then propose a contemplative science of mind based on the sophisticated techniques of meditation that have been practiced for thousands of years in the great spiritual traditions. The final section presents meditations that are of universal relevance--to scientists and people of all faiths--for revealing new dimensions of consciousness and human flourishing.Embracing Mind moves us beyond the dogmatic debates between theists and atheists over Intelligent Design and Neo-Darwinism, and it returns us to the vital core of science and spirituality: deepening our experience of reality as a whole.

Brian Alan Wallace (1950) es un autor, traductor y estudioso estadounidense reconocido por su trabajo en la intersección entre la ciencia cognitiva y el budismo tibetano. Formado en física y filosofía de la ciencia, fue ordenado monje budista y estudió durante años bajo la guía del Dalái Lama y otros maestros tibetanos. Su trayectoria se ha centrado en tender puentes entre la investigación científica de la mente y las prácticas contemplativas, participando en iniciativas de diálogo entre ciencia y espiritualidad, además de fundar el Santa Barbara Institute for Consciousness Studies.

Entre sus obras más influyentes se encuentra El arte de transformar la mente, donde presenta de forma accesible técnicas de meditación basadas en la tradición budista, adaptadas al contexto contemporáneo. Su enfoque combina rigor intelectual con experiencia práctica, abordando temas como la atención, la conciencia y el bienestar mental. A lo largo de su carrera ha desarrollado programas de entrenamiento contemplativo y ha contribuido activamente a la difusión del budismo en Occidente desde una perspectiva crítica y reflexiva.
