While quantum mechanics is probabilistic, classical physics makes definite predictions. This book argues these predictions can be explained by the mathematics of special relativity, and explores the profound philosophical consequences. No advanced math or physics is required.

Quine on Ethics
The Gavagai of Moral Discourse
This first comprehensive treatment of Quine's foray into ethics defends his infamous challenge to ethical theory: the methodological infirmity of ethics compared with science. The book demonstrates that the challenge is not only valid but valuable for reforming ethical reasoning.

Quining and Unquining Qualia
An Examination of Daniel Dennett’s Consciousness Debate
This book challenges the claim that qualia—our subjective sensations—are illusions. It proposes that qualia are essential aspects of consciousness that lie beyond science's reach, and are what distinguish human experience from artificial intelligence.

The Disembodied Mind
An Exploration of Consciousness in the Physical Universe
Is the mind entirely separate from physics? Relying on empirical science, this book presents a model of an objective mind completely unconnected with anything physical. The mind has no effect on the physical world, but, by free volition, navigates the world we experience.

This is the first comparative study of Kant and Herschel. Their model of the world dismissed the idea of a finite, static cosmos and introduced an evolutionary perspective that had a crucial influence on nineteenth- and twentieth-century astronomy.

This book propounds a different conception of producing ideas, introducing semiotic reality—signs and sign systems. It shows how the interplay of three realities (the material world, signs, and the human mind) gives rise to new notions like metathinking.

The Truly Infinite Universe
Hegel, Hawking, and the Quantum Cosmo-logic of the Absolute
By bringing speculative philosophy into conversation with quantum cosmology, this book develops Hegel’s metaphysics and Hawking’s theory on the origins of spacetime, revealing the universe as a self-generating, self-organizing, self-enclosed whole.
