O astfel de dezbatere (“r\u0103zboi al viziunilor asupra lumii”), dar la nivel \u00eenalt, \u00een aerul rarefiat al ideilor, a fost pus\u0103 \u00een scen\u0103 de cartea pe care v-o prezent\u0103m. E vorba despre o confruntare acerb\u0103 \u00een linia argumentelor, dar cordial\u0103 \u00een aceea a tonului, \u00eentre dou\u0103 mari personalit\u0103\u0163i ale lumii contemporane: Deepak Chopra (un guru modern, intens tradus la noi \u00een anii \u00een urm\u0103, dar care aici, \u00een terenul acestei lupte, pare mai conving\u0103tor ca niciodat\u0103) \u015fi Leonard Mlodinow (cercet\u0103tor, \u00een decursul timpului, la Institutul Max Planck \u015fi la Caltech, colaborator apropiat al lui Stephen Hawking).<\/p>\n
Cei doi s-au \u00eent\u00e2lnit la o conferin\u0163\u0103 a lui Deepak, \u00eentr-un amfiteatru universitar californian, \u00een care starul de origine indian\u0103 \u00ee\u015fi expunea ideile. Din public, Mlodinow a \u00eenceput s\u0103-i “submineze” discursul, \u015fi, \u00eencet-\u00eencet, divergen\u0163ele dintre concep\u0163iile celor doi au \u00eenceput s\u0103 prind\u0103 contur. A\u015fa s-a n\u0103scut ideea acestei c\u0103r\u0163i, \u00een care, r\u00e2nd pe r\u00e2nd, fiecare dintre cei doi g\u00e2nditori abordeaz\u0103 c\u00e2te o tem\u0103 major\u0103 (cosmosul sau universul fizic, via\u0163a \u015fi creierul uman, misterul lui Dumnezeu), dar din perspective diferite. Deci: spiritualitate sau \u015ftiin\u0163\u0103? Corpul fizic sau corpul spiritual? Reu\u015fe\u015fte \u015ftiin\u0163a s\u0103 descrie universul, sau \u00eenv\u0103\u0163\u0103turile str\u0103vechi precum medita\u0163ia desc\u00e2lcesc mistere aflate dincolo de viziunea \u015ftiin\u0163ific\u0103 asupra lumii?<\/p>\n
Dac\u0103 e s\u0103 citim cu aten\u0163ie acest dialog, vom vedea c\u0103 particula “sau” nu este una care s\u0103 dicteze excluderea vreunuia din termeni, pentru c\u0103 ea, finalmente, reprezint\u0103 o punte \u00eentre dou\u0103 t\u0103r\u00e2muri h\u0103r\u0103zite doar prin prejudecat\u0103 ireconcialibilului. \u00cen viziunea lui Deepak, marea provocare pentru spiritualitate este s\u0103 ofere ceea ce nu poate oferi \u015ftiin\u0163a, \u015fi anume r\u0103spunsuri care \u0163in de t\u0103r\u00e2mul con\u015ftiin\u0163ei.<\/p>\n
O carte care se cite\u015fte cu poft\u0103, un dialog incitant, un spectacol al inteligen\u0163ei, care chiar dac\u0103 nu v\u0103 va convinge s\u0103 trece\u0163i \u00eentr-o tab\u0103r\u0103 sau \u00een alta, v\u0103 va oferi cu siguran\u0163\u0103 r\u0103spunsuri la multe \u00eentreb\u0103ri.<\/p>\n
