Quote:Summary: Ed Kelly will briefly sketch the 20+-year project that has so far resulted in Irreducible Mind (2007), Beyond Physicalism (2015), and Consciousness Unbound (2021). Collectively, these books have contributed to the ongoing erosion of support for physicalism – the still-predominant worldview among mainstream biologists, neuroscientists, psychologists and social scientists (as well as humanistic scholars including scholars of religion, and the opinion elites of “advanced” societies worldwide) – and begun to identify at least in broad outline form the contours of an improved science-based worldview or conceptual framework or metaphysics that can better accommodate a wide range of exceptional but humanly vital phenomena including genius, mystical experience, and the various forms of psi.
'Historically, we may regard materialism as a system of dogma set up to combat orthodox dogma...Accordingly we find that, as ancient orthodoxies disintegrate, materialism more and more gives way to scepticism.'

- Bertrand Russell
