Abstract
On a theoretical basis, the possible relation is discussed between the ‘morphic resonance’
theory of Dr Rupert Sheldrake and its possible contribution to establishing homœopathy
in a scientific frame. Sheldrake's hypotheses on ‘formative causation’ and morphic
resonance initially influenced biological views on the processes of evolution and
have been verified by psychological experiments.
However, the theoretical background of Sheldrake's hypotheses may also be relevant
to forming hypotheses on a yet unknown physical principle, which are to explain the
working of homeopathic potencies.
