Metaphysics Philosophy

Professor Mary Holmes called paradox "the natural condition of the world. It is both the working principle and the mystery of life... We are always surrounded by paradox because all of creation is the union of opposites. All energy comes from the union of opposites." Holmes is here tying our experience of paradox to our consciousness of opposites.

The world we live in presents itself as orderly, predictable, and governed by consistent rules—gravity pulls downward, the sun rises in the east, and time moves steadily forward. Our daily experience, guided by logic, memory, and sensory feedback, creates a sense of permanence and coherence that we seldom stop to question. We trust in this continuity because it is the foundation upon which our understanding of reality is built. But what happens when, for the briefest of moments, reality falters?

Were ancient Greek philosophers right about reality being only an illusion? What was really the biggest blunder of Einstein's life? Is everything we've been taught about the universe incorrect? In The Unobservable Universe, visionary scientist and engineer Scott M. Tyson successfully unravels cosmology from the level of rocket science and brings it down to Earth, demystifying the universe in terms that laymen can comprehend and enjoy, splitting atoms but not hairs on this magical mystery tour of the outback of time and space.

God and the Self in Hegel proposes a reconstruction of Hegel’s conception of God and analyzes the significance of this reading for Hegel’s idealistic metaphysics. Paolo Diego Bubbio argues that in Hegel’s view, subjectivism—the tenet that there is no underlying “true” reality that exists independently of the activity of the cognitive agent—can be avoided, and content can be restored to religion, only to the extent that God is understood in God’s relation to human beings, and human beings are understood in their relation to God.

The central motif running through this thought-provoking book is Jung's most misunderstood concept, synchronicity.

By the time he was 30, Syd Kessler was a millionaire many times over, the epitome of the poor kid making good. But inside him, a hollowness was taking hold, and later, in middle age, he fell seriously ill. In the dark days of a long recovery, Kessler explored the Kabbalah and the discoveries of quantum physics, developing a system of moral principles from the truths of how the universe began and operates. His set of principles - from Big Bang to Moral Cause and Effect to Selfless Selfishness to Closure and Energy - are revolutionary.

A metaphysical, astrological perspective on the symbols, functions, and essences of the planets of the solar system. How to use the esoteric layer of astrological symbolism when reading a natal chart for spiritual self-work.

Oui, c’est en retournant vous coucher que vous pratiquez la plus sage des philosophies : celle qui consiste à respecter le rythme naturel de vos vies. Les grands génies le savent : la sieste est le secret des intelligences fécondes. Que serait l’humanité sans le repos de Newton sous son arbre ? La pomme tombe et lui donne l’idée de la théorie de la gravité ! Même sans nourrir d’aussi grandes ambitions, il est conseillé de s’adonner à la « métaphysique du hamac » : elle apaise corps et âme.

Oops, All Atoms is a walk through what materialism actually means. Not in theory, but in practice. From love to morality to death, this book shows what breaks when you treat human beings like meat computers. James Johnson runs the model to its logical conclusion, and then dares to ask what’s on the other side of it. If you’ve ever felt like something about this world is off, you’re not alone. You’re just not made of atoms alone.

Monty era un perro cualquiera. Un maltés terrier irascible y gruñón. Disfrutaba ladrar a los pug y olisquear los árboles, pero después de una dramática confrontación con el rottweiler local, Anthony se da cuenta de que es el momento para tener una charla con Monty acerca de lo que lo hace un buen o un mal perro.

Transcendence and History is an analysis of what philosopher Eric Voegelin described as “the decisive problem of philosophy”: the dilemma of the discovery of transcendent meaning and the impact of this discovery on human self-understanding. The explicit recognition and symbolization of transcendent meaning originally occurred in a few advanced civilizations worldwide during the first millennium.

In The Path of Spiritual Breakthrough, meditation and awakening teacher Jeff Carreira takes you on a journey through some of the farthest reaches of mystical revelation. For many years, Jeff was a devoted spiritual seeker pursuing rigorous extremes of practice. What he experienced was a succession of extraordinary events that gradually left him free of existential doubt and perpetually open to new and higher dimensions of reality.

What is consciousness? This audiobook presents an understanding of life that transcends matter. More importantly, it transcends the difference between what you are and what I am. Despite its reliance on what is known through Western Science, it is a transcendence of the Western understanding of reality. It does not begin with a world and then try to figure out how life evolved within it; it begins with life and extrapolates where the world came from.

Crafted by satirical philosopher and literary trickster George Kevers, The Uncertainty Principle is a thought experiment dressed in academic robes and running shoes. It spirals through epistemology, solipsism, metaphysics, and the mess of modern meaning—equal parts intellectual farce and spiritual séance.

Discover how consciousness, like ripples in a cosmic ocean, shapes our reality through desire and intention.

This volume gathers studies by prominent scholars and philosophers about the question how have major figures from the history of philosophy, and some contemporary philosophers, addressed "the ultimate why question": why is there anything at all rather than nothing whatsoever? The authors take this question seriously, striving to go beyond accounting for the present state of reality as distinguished from a prior or subsequent state, to the more profound question of discerning why anything whatsoever exists.

Have you ever questioned reality? Not in the abstract, philosophical way, but in the eerie, spine-tingling moments when the world just doesn’t seem quite right? Like when a stranger says exactly what you were thinking. When the same numbers keep following you. When time seems to skip. Or when you look in the mirror and wonder: am I real—or just playing a role I didn’t choose?
