This book brings the parallels between quantum physics and ancient Asian traditions – Daoism and Buddhism – to an investigation of mind, action and strategy in conditions of radical uncertainty. Engaging with both theory and real-world problems, it explores what it might mean to successfully navigate the potentials of a post-pandemic world.
Taking a broadly interdisciplinary approach, this book provides a unique angle on the COVID-19 pandemic and its implications for global theory and practice.
The book bridges two important debates regarding the relevance of quantum theory to the social sciences, and the pressing need for a more global international relations (IR). It brings the parallels between quantum physics and ancient Asian traditions – Daoism, Buddhism and Hinduism – to an investigation of mind, action and strategy in conditions of radical uncertainty.
Engaging with both theory and real-world problems, including climate change, the COVID-19 pandemic and economic and racial inequality, this book explores what it might mean to successfully navigate the potentials of a post-pandemic world.
