About this product
Product Information
The present framing of the cultural debate in terms of materialism versus religion has allowed materialism to go unchallenged as the only rationally-viable metaphysics. This book seeks to change this. It uncovers the absurd implications of materialism and then, uniquely, presents a hard-nosed non-materialist metaphysics substantiated by skepticism, hard empirical evidence, and clear logical argumentation. It lays out a coherent framework upon which one can interpret and make sense of every natural phenomenon and physical law, as well as the modalities of human consciousness, without materialist assumptions. According to this framework, the brain is merely the image of a self-localization process of mind, analogously to how a whirlpool is the image of a self-localization process of water. The brain doesn't generate mind in the same way that a whirlpool doesn't generate water. It is the brain that is in mind, not mind in the brain. Physical death is merely a de-clenching of awareness. The book closes with a series of educated speculations regarding the afterlife, psychic phenomena, and other related subjects.Product Identifiers

good idea to know the meaning of life!!!
Hey earthly guys!! it´s good news to all of us to have such a guide line book like "why matterialism is a ballony" I orderded it through ebay, and have read it thoroughly and know it how our daily life are being missleaded by the concept of reality about our life and world , according to our current nuro scince our stars and galaxy, trees, river, roads are just a copy of our brain literally we live inside our brain, outside world are just a hallocination and on top of that matterialism claims that our skull is far away than stars and galaxys!, how bull shit and abstract to believe this idea , isn´t it? on the other hand idealism claims the very simple and concrete idea about the ourself and world, it says that we are concious and see ourselfe as if we are only we and seperates other concious people like different entity just like a whirlpool in a water thinks itself and thinks different from it´s source water who generates it, in fact it´s whirlpool inside water not water inside it!! and it also further claims a simple idea about world that all outside world are world and not a copy of our brain or any hallocination !! so I have been at least convienced it with this idea!! so highly recommend to read this master piece of book!!!
