About the author
I am the executive director of Essentia Foundation and my work has set off the modern renaissance of metaphysical idealism, the notion that reality is essentially mental. I have a Ph.D. in philosophy (ontology, philosophy of mind) and another Ph.D. in computer engineering (reconfigurable computing, artificial intelligence). As a scientist, I have worked for the European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN) and the Philips Research Laboratories (where the 'Casimir Effect' of Quantum Field Theory was discovered). I have also been creatively active in the high-tech industry for almost 30 years now, having co-founded parallel processor company Silicon Hive (acquired by Intel in 2011) and worked as a technology strategist for the geopolitically significant company ASML. Formulated in detail in many academic papers and books, my ideas have been featured on 'Scientific American,' the magazine of 'The Institute of Art and Ideas,' the 'Blog of the American Philosophical Association' and 'Big Think,' among others. My 11th book, coming in late 2024, is 'Analytic Idealism in a Nutshell: A straightforward summary of the 21st-century's only plausible metaphysics.'

There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
The first book of Mr. Kastrup's that I read was More Than Allegory: On Religious Myth, Truth and Belief. That was a challenging read, although I got a lot out of it (in particular, the ultimate description of what is happening here was consistent with some transcendent experiences I had prior to reading the book. Not proof of anything, but I found that reassuring). I also recommend that book, but perhaps after reading the two just referenced for the best experience.
Happy reading!

I would like to make a gentle observation regarding Gill Bolte Taylor. Her stroke was in her left hemisphere. There are very different consequences to strokes dependent upon which side of the brain they occur. I think the insights of Iain McGilchrist would add another dimension of discovery to Bernado Kastrup's work. Not that this book isn't already perfect.
