Stuart Kauffman sounds a lot like Hans Jonas, who made very similar arguments decades ago in The Gnostic Religion, and then, later, in The Imperative of Responsibility. Both books argue that nature should be taken as sacred.
In the latter book, he has an interesting discussion of "The Possible Uses of Quantum Theory for the Psychophysical Problem". He uses "psychophysical" to refer to the Cartesian mind-body dichotomy and the philosophical problems it raises.
