This latest 
The big news (for me at any rate) is the (self-)publication of my first book, The Philosophy of Reality, which contains my theory about the way phenomenology, ontology, and metaphysics are related. I've written an article about the book, including some excerpts, 
You've seen my Merleau-Ponty series on his Phenomenolgoy of Perception. In this new 
French philosopher Gilles Deleuze (1925-1995) is one of the most important philosophers of the modern era. His writings, agree or disagree with them, display a tremendous intellect and both a remarkable depth and breadth of thought, straddling disciplines, philosphers, and theories with apparent ease. 
Watsuji Tetsuro (1889-1960) was a Japanese philosopher whose thought wasn't religious/Buddhist enough to earn him a place in the Kyoto School of Japanese philosophy centred around the ubiquitous Nishida Kitaro. His philosophy engaged with Western thinkers, and he was especially sympathetic to Heidegger's brand of phenomenology. 
Edmund Husserl, German philosopher and founder of phenomenology, created the philosophy that has mainly occupied me in my studies. However, his approach to phenomenology completely differed from that of the 'students' who came afterwards. We finally investigate the master himself in Recent Articles
Feb 25, 2025 Berkeley and Quantum Mechanics: To Be is to Be Decohered New
I won’t hold it against you if you are wondering what George Berkeley, an 18th century Anglican bishop and idealist philosopher, and quantum mechanics, a modern scientific theory unparalleled in the accuracy of its predictions, are doing side by side in the title of an article. I still won’t hold it against you if the second half of the title doesn’t shed much light on the first half. Hopefully, by the time you finish this article, all of those disparate pieces will slide into place and make perfect sense...
Sep 14, 2024 Facts and the Truth
Good faith discussions, as rare as they might be in the real world, you would think would be places where facts matter and where the truth about an issue is both attainable and something that can be agreed upon by two reasonable interlocutors. After all, facts are, by definition, indisputable, and the truth is, by definition, singular. However, we’ve all seen political debates (which admittedly no one would mistake for good faith discussions) where each side seemingly has access to an entire realm of facts alien to the other side, so that rather than a genuine attempt to understand the situation and actually resolve any problems, the two sides end up talking past each other...
Aug 14, 2024 Reflections on Time - Infinity
The word ‘infinity’ is used to refer to something endless or without boundaries. If you believe that the universe has no outer boundary, so that you could travel outwards forever and never reach the end or return to where you started, this would make the universe infinite in space or size. If you subscribe to the multiverse theory, on the other hand, it might be the number of universes that you would take to be infinite. Another thing that is commonly taken to be infinite is time, in the sense that time extends endlessly forwards into the future and endlessly backwards into the past. It is this sense of infinity – the temporal kind – that we will be concerned with in this article....
July 09, 2024 My First Book - The Philosphy of Reality
Some of you may have noticed that I have been a little quiet on here recently. A part of the reason for this is that I have been working hard on getting my first book ready for (self-)publication. I’m happy to report that the battle is finally over, and The Philosophy of Reality is up and looking good on Amazon. It is basically the sum total of my thinking over the past decade, during which time I have been making long-form, in-depth, explanatory video series on key philosophical texts while writing articles containing more original ideas, some of which have gone into certain parts of my book. To give you a little idea of what The Philosophy of Reality is about, in this article I will reproduce the blurb I’ve written for it along with three excerpts, one from each of the main sections that make up the book...
Dec 17, 2023 Evolution from a Metaphysical Perspective
Let me begin this article by clarifying that I will NOT be doubting evolution as the theory that life forms change over time and different species share common ancestors. No scientific theory (I also won't be wasting any time refuting the silly objection that evolution is just a theory that has yet to be proven) has as much supporting evidence for it, from the fossil record to carbon dating to homologies (including anatomical, vestigial, and molecular features) to developmental biology to genomics, and on and on. With that said, evolutionary theory is not perfect, although what it lacks, strictly speaking, doesn’t fall within the mandate of what the theory (or science, in general) studies...
