Can science truly explain everything? Or are some of its deepest assumptions rarely examined? In The Science Spell, Chris Spark does not reject science. He puts it in context. He pushes its critical thinking further than most scientists do. He looks under logs our most respected authorities often ignore.

What if everything we thought we knew about conflict and cooperation was backwards? For centuries, philosophers, economists, and scientists have asked: why do humans cooperate? The question assumes that conflict is natural and cooperation is the puzzle requiring explanation. This groundbreaking book inverts that assumption entirely. Drawing on evolutionary game theory, Nobel Prize-winning research on commons governance, and evidence from biology to artificial intelligence, A Unified Theory of Self-Organizing Systems presents a radical reframing.

For a century, the collective unconscious has been one of the most provocative and most dismissed ideas in the history of psychology. Carl Gustav Jung claimed that human beings share a deep symbolic substrate set of recurring patterns he called archetypes that shapes our dreams, myths, and stories with a regularity no single culture invented. Science rejected the claim. The theory was vague, unfalsifiable, and steeped in mysticism. The verdict seemed final.

What if everything that makes you you could fit on two pages? Boris Kriger lost his mother when his son was four. Years later, using nothing but memory and a language model, he rebuilt her as a digital interlocutor. His son sat down and talked to her for over an hour. He did not recognize a program. He recognized his grandmother.

What if genius is not a gift but a regime — a specific, identifiable state of a system that can be understood, entered, and sustained? For centuries, the question of exceptional achievement has been carved up among rival disciplines. Geneticists claim it lives in DNA. Psychologists insist it emerges from practice. Neuroscientists locate it in synaptic density. Sociologists point to culture and timing. Each holds a piece of the truth. None holds the whole.

The Flowing Self: Identity in Drift and the Dynamics of Being offers a radical rethinking of what it means to be a self in a world shaped by continuous change, relational complexity, and the dissolution of fixed categories. Rejecting essentialist models of identity and therapeutic narratives of self-discovery, the book presents a structural account of selfhood as a lawful process—not something possessed, but something inferred, constructed, and maintained through dynamic coherence over time.

Here is a concise, comprehensive overview of Wilber's revolutionary thought and its application in today's world. In A Theory of Everything, Wilber uses clear, nontechnical language to present complex, cutting-edge theories that integrate the realms of body, mind, soul, and spirit. He then demonstrates how these theories and models can be applied to real-world problems in areas such as politics, medicine, business, education, and the environment.

We’re in a time between worlds and a time between stories. We are in a postmodern era characterized by the deconstruction of intrinsic value and the deconstruction of the Story of Value. But story is not merely a human construct that is useful for cohering society (as the postmodern zeitgeist suggests). Story is an ontology of Cosmos. Story is a First Principle and First Value of Cosmos. The deepest readings of interior and exterior sciences now demonstrate that Reality is a Story.

Someone recommended Crime and Punishment. Maybe it was a professor. Maybe it was that person at the coffee shop who looked very thoughtful. Maybe you just wanted to seem interesting at parties. Whatever the reason, you're now 200 pages into a Russian novel where a sweaty man has a theory about Napoleon, and you're starting to suspect you've made a terrible mistake. Welcome. You're in the right place.

The only edition to include rare, uncollected material from James Allen’s personal periodical and contemporary sources. For over a century, the words of James Allen have guided millions toward a life of purpose, peace, and prosperity. His masterpiece, As a Man Thinketh, has rightfully taken its place as a foundational text of the self-help movement. But who was the man who lived these truths before he wrote them? And what were the original ideas that shaped his philosophy?

In this time between worlds and time between stories, we cross over together. In response to the meta-crisis and the potential death of humanity or the death of our humanity, we must cross over from Homo sapiens to Homo amor. This audiobook is compiled from lightly edited transcriptions from The Crossing, an event originally initiated and taught by Dr. Gafni, and organized and facilitated by James Bampfield. The Crossing took place in Holland in 2024. The larger context for the Crossing was a series of more than thirty Wisdom School and Mystery School events led by Dr.

The Limit of Complexity is a philosophical investigation into one of the defining conditions of the contemporary world: the moment when complexity, once a source of power and progress, begins to turn against the systems that generate it. Moving across natural systems, economics, technology, politics, ethics, and human cognition, Boris Kriger examines how accumulation, interconnection, and scale quietly transform coherence into fragility. This book does not oppose complexity, nor does it idealize simplicity.

una memorabile raccolta di una dozzina di saggi scritti tra il 1925 e il 1954 (a parte una curiosità filosofica del 1899), in cui egli dice la sua su tutti gli aspetti della religione in generale, e del cristianesimo in particolare.

El texto ofrece una explicación genealógica de los vínculos que unen el planteamiento kantiano con cuatro presuposiciones pragmáticas inevitables en la acción comunicativa: un mundo objetivo común, la responsabilidad de los sujetos racionales, la validez incondicional de las pretensiones...

This audiobook is a call to reclaim value as real—because the future of the world depends on it. We live in a time between worlds and a time between stories, as the very existence of humanity is threatened by a meta-crisis. The meta-crisis is a series of interlocking social, political, educational, climate and technological crises, that we can all see and feel in our lives.

This audiobook explores the dangers of a broken sensemaking and information ecology in a time between worlds and time between stories. We are faced with two bad alternatives: to blindly dismiss all conspiracy theories or to blindly buy into all their claims. Both are wrong choices.

In this book, we point towards the ontologies of story and value. Story is real. And value is real. That is the reality consideration that we engage in this book. Along the way we engage Yuval Harari’s rejection of the ontology of both Story and Value. Harari is perhaps the most popular parrot of the postmodern zeitgeist at this moment in time. Harari’s key idea is that we need a new story around which open societies can cohere in order to respond to the meta crisis.

In this rigorous and unsettling study, Boris Kriger reconstructs Georges Bataille’s vision of the sacred as a trembling border between reason and its own undoing. Moving beyond biography and commentary, the book situates Bataille’s thought within the crises of twentieth-century modernity—the collapse of transcendence, the exhaustion of eroticism, and the metamorphosis of sacrifice into aesthetics.
