introduction to the seriesAbout this book seriesThis series of twelve volumes is the result of a unique faculty-wide projectthat began with the founding of Maharishi University of Managementin 1971 and continues to this day. Each volume in the series examines aparticular academic discipline in the light of our Consciousness-Basedapproach to education.Volumes include:• an introductory paper introducing the Consciousness-Basedunderstanding of the discipline,• a Unified Field Chart, if available for publication, for the discipline—achart that conceptually maps all the branches of thediscipline and illustrates how the discipline emerges from thefield of pure consciousness and how that field is the Self of everyindividual. Thus, these charts connect the “parts” of knowledgeto the “wholeness” of knowledge and the wholeness of knowledgeto the Self of the student;• subsequent papers that show how this understanding may beapplied in various branches of the discipline,• occasional examples of student work exploring how the Consciousness-Basedapproach enhances learning in the discipline, and• an appendix describing Maharishi Vedic Science and Technologiesof Consciousness in detail.11
