Quantum Psychology

Quantum Psychology

"Quantum Psychology: How Brain Software Programs You & Your World" was written by Robert Anton Wilson and originally published in 1990.

Some consider "Quantum Psychology" a follow-up to Wilson's earlier volume "Prometheus Rising", mainly for the presence of practical exercises to demonstrate its concepts at the end of each chapter (this time intended for groups rather than a lone reader). It focuses primarily on the metaphysical and epistemological problems of Aristotelean reasoning and its use in everyday language, covering E-Prime and how it addresses many of the semantic (and resulting perceptual) "spooks" that common language lets in.

It also covers, in a way that doesn't end up as discontinuous as it might sound: psychosomatic healing and a possible explanation for it; non-local effects in quantum physics (Bell's Theorem) and the theories of David Bohm; and a brief recap of the Timothy Leary eight-fold consciousness theory of human consciousness which "Prometheus Rising" covers in much greater detail. In Quantum Psychology, Wilson posits four additional circuits.
