My own “aha!” moment came in 2001 after reading Danah Zohar and Ian Marshall’s book The Quantum Society, which I had picked up almost randomly at the University of Chicago bookstore.3 Zohar and Marshall were writing for a general audience, so I did not find the discussion of social and political theory entirely satisfying. However, their basic idea – that the mind and social life are macroscopic quantum mechanical phenomena – hit me as just the kind of thesis that could help move philosophical debates in the social sciences forward. That is because it calls into question a foundational assumption taken for granted by all sides – namely that social life is governed by the laws of classical physics. I don’t know if the conjecture is right, but I felt it deserved a more systematic treatment that could be subjected to serious academic scrutiny. That is what I have tried to do in this book.
