This book is a reflexive exploration into collaborative writing as a method of inquiry. At its heart are sequences of exchanged writings that form an experimental, transgressive inquiry into subjectivity, drawing on the philosophy of Gilles Deleuze.

This book argues for hope as a path beyond facile optimism and weary pessimism. Drawing on Western philosophy and Advaita Vedanta, it suggests that living from the Self, distinct from the ego, reveals a peace and bliss beyond both hope and happiness. A timely and wise book.
Beyond Nature And Nurture
Why are some individuals and countries more successful than others? The nature-nurture debate is misleading. Dr. Baofu shows how the two are intertwined and reveals a tremendous future: a “post-human” world where human genes will no longer exist.

Christian Pragmatism
Edward Ames called theology a search for a black cat in a dark room that is not there. A student of John Dewey, he forged a pragmatic view of religion, seeing God as a natural process. This volume presents his thought historically through his major writings.
