I am a physicist turned quant, turned complexity scientist, always looking to connect the dots and divine the big picture. My interest in fundamental theories, real-world complexity, and the nature of consciousness drives my passion for writing.
More empirical metaphysics.

The book shows “that not only do these phenomena exist, but that they have significant implications for our understanding of consciousness.“ Routledge is a leading global academic publisher. #idealism

Good news!

After some initial distribution hiccups, "The Sapient Cosmos" is now available again in most countries.

Now you can discover the growing case for consciousness as the ground of being—not a byproduct of physical processes.

Yeah, the rabbit hole is deep indeed;) I like how Chalmers once explained his evolution in the attached quote. In the new book, I tried to combine recurring themes found in the many different versions of idealism, resulting in a syncretic blend.

"The Sapient Cosmos" builds on the ideas first presented in my earlier work, "Information-Consciousness-Reality," published in 2019 as an open-access monograph in Springer's Frontiers Collection.
