You Are Fundamental: A Revolutionary New View of Consciousness - Paperback

$34.20

Most studies of consciousness proceed from a standpoint where external reality already pre-exists. As such, these studies would be inherently unable to recognize it if consciousness in fact arose at the same level where reality itself takes its source--at the level where wave functions collapse and thereby generate the fabric of material reality. At the same time, a number of compelling contemporary interpretations of physics strongly hint that consciousness must most likely be a fundamental ...

Dialectics of the Big Bang and the Absolute Existence of the Multiverse - Paperback

$68.38

by Gregory Phipps (Author)This interdisciplinary book develops a dialectical narrative about the beginning of the universe by combining Hegel's philosophy with texts about the Big Bang theory. Scientific accounts of the Big Bang indicate that the first second of existence was an eventful period in which the universe progressed through six different epochs.

The Homelessness of Being: Heidegger and the Meaning of Existence - Paperback

$63.25

by Prashan Ranasinghe (Author)The Homelessness of Being invites readers to consider what it means to be human. This dialogue between sociology and the early and middle phases of Heidegger's writings argues that to be human is to be homeless. This homelessness is not one of materiality, of being houseless, but one that is ontological: the homelessness that constitutes the essence of humanity, where one is disconnected from the essence of one's self or being. Prashan Ranasinghe theorizes this h...

Political Science and Saint Thomas Aquinas - Paperback

$34.02

by Donald G. Boland (Author)This book seeks to demonstrate the need for a restoration of Aristotle's Ethics and Politics (as illuminated by Aquinas) as the necessary basis of political science for the modern world.
