Concert pianist-turned-philosopher Ervin Laszlo talks about his personal intellectual and spiritual evolution and about the evolutionary challenges facing humanity as global civilization approaches the 'chaos point.' The cofounder with Ludwig vonBertalanfy of General Systems Theory, Laszlo talks from a broad, trans-diciplinary perspective that integrates leading-edge science and spiritual understanding from many traditions. The founder of the Club of Budapest, he travels the world working with many organizations on the urgent mission of helping create a 'sustainable transformation' to a peaceful planetary civilization before its too late.

In interesting work "From Zarathistra to Ken Wilber" it's possible to see the interconnnections between different modern scientists and mysticism, together with Laszlo, there are Capra, Sheldrake, Wilber, and also from earlier times Ron Hubbard, Theosophists etc. and between mysticism of east and west.
Arthur Schopenhauer said 200 years ago that all truth must pass through three stages: 1. Ridicule 2. Violent Opposition 3. Acceptance as being self-evident.
At 31:00 Laszlo quotes Gandhi as saying essentially the same thing. I'm not sure whether Gandhi said this, or whether Laszlo misattributed the Schopenhauer quote, which in any case came first.
