This course explores the following questions. What are the fundamental ontological paradoxes arising in quantum theory? The meaning of Bell’s Theorem, especially, will be focused on. How is quantum physics fundamentally different from classical physics? What are the leading theories/models as to how quantum physics might be related to biology and/or consciousness?What lines of actual evidence support those theories/models?What are the primary arguments to the effect that quantum physics cannot be [or can be] related to biology/consciousness? Do the paradoxes in quantum reality imply a need to adjust the fundamental philosophy of science? How should the answers to these questions affect the theory and practice of psychology/counseling/spiritual practice [or ordinary life]?
