This book offers a refreshing alternative to the prevailing frenzy of abstract and unquestioned assumptions in these fields. By employing conceptual parsimony, straightforward logic, and empirical evidence from diverse domains such as physics and neuroscience, The Idea of the World explores what insights can be gained about the nature of reality. It compiles an overarching case for idealism, the notion that reality is fundamentally mental, from ten original articles previously published in esteemed academic journals.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe case begins by examining the logical fallacies and internal contradictions of the reigning physicalist ontology and its popular alternatives, including bottom-up panpsychism. It then presents a compelling formulation of idealism that harmoniously explains and reconciles classical and quantum worlds. The primary objections to idealism are systematically refuted, and empirical evidence is reviewed to corroborate the formulation presented.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe book concludes with an insightful analysis of the psychological motivations behind mainstream physicalism and the profound implications of idealism for our understanding of the world. By challenging our preconceived notions and embracing a more holistic perspective, The Idea of the World offers a transformative perspective on the nature of reality and our place within it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\n                            \u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 304g\n                            \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 140 x 216 x 27 (mm)\n                            \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9781785357398\n                            \n                          \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Bernardo Kastrup","offers":[{"title":"Paperback \/ softback","offer_id":44100173168890,"sku":"9781785357398","price":11.59,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/4297\/2845\/products\/9d473ea243b9fab5f17e169ab5dff97f.jpg?v=1627007990","url":"https:\/\/shulphink.com\/products\/idea-of-the-world-the-a-multi-disciplinary-argument-for-the-mental-nature-of-reality","provider":"Shulph Ink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
