I have been following the work of Rupert Sheldrake for a short while and came across this TED Talk which proved to be quite controversial and subsequently removed from the TED website. It is worth watching if you are interested in the unpacking of Western philosophy of mind and scientific dogmas!
Here is a great critique about TED and the removal of Sheldrake’s talk, by Charles Einstein http://charleseisenstein.net/ted-a-choice-point/
