Rupert Sheldrake has spent decades defying science's unspoken dogmas. Labelled a heretic, he continues to ask one radical question: what if the universe remembers? In this conversation with post-realist philosopher Hilary Lawson, Sheldrake defends morphic resonance, recounts his excommunication by orthodox science, and explores how consciousness, memory, and mind might stretch far beyond the brain.

Rupert Sheldrake is an English scientist whose research into parapsychology and evolution led to the theory of morphic resonance, expounded in the book A New Science of Life. The theory posits that "memory is inherent in nature" which makes it possible for "telepathy-type interconnections between organisms."
Hilary Lawson is a philosopher best known for his theory 'Closure', a post-analytic return to metaphysics, and an outspoken critic of philosophical realism. He is Editorial Director of the IAI.
