Building on the insights of such thinkers as Teilhard de Chardin and Bergson, as well as contemporaries like Dobzhansky and Bateson, Henryk Skolimowski points us to a new metaphysical order in which mind and world are intimately connected. This new participatory worldview explains how the concept of the world 'out there, ' independent of the mind, is incoherent. Rather, says Skolimowski, we must see the mind as actively shaping and creating the world. Even truth itself, he argues, is enmeshed in the web of the participatory mind. And all are encompassed by a universal process of cosmic evolution."In beholding, we are articulating. In articulating, we are co-creating. In the act of articulation, mind and reality merge. Reality becomes an aspect of mind."In an era of stale and tedious analytic philosophy, Skolimowski brings us brave new visions, expansive metaphysical theorizing, and penetrating insight. Few individuals have proven able to encompass the scope of philosophy as he has, all while retaining an ability for truly creative work. A pinnacle of a stunningly impressive career, this book is destined for greatness.
