Inner Universe: Fundamental Science, Phenomenology & Fields of Awareness (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781489597441)

INNER UNIVERSE - the groundbreaking precursor to Peter Wilberg's book 'The QUALIA Revolution'. Today both science and religion still fail to provide us with a philosophically consistent understanding of the fundamental nature of reality. Religion replaces such an understanding with symbols of this reality. Meanwhile, physics has retreated into its own form of quasi-religious fundamentalism - treating its own purely quantitative symbols as more fundamentally 'real' than any of the tangibly experienced, 'empirical' phenomena that they are supposed to 'explain'. What alone can be called 'fundamental' science has nothing in common with either religious or scientific fundamentalisms. Its foundation lies instead in a dimension of reality that is ignored in both science and religion. This is the realm that Peter Wilberg calls the 'Inner Universe'. The Inner Universe however, is not fundamentally made up either of 'matter' or fields of 'energy' but rather of fields and field-patterns of awareness. Since we can only know of any phenomenon on the basis of an awareness of it, it follows that awareness as such can alone be considered the most 'fundamental' reality of all - being irreducible in principle to a mere 'property' or 'product' of any phenomena which we only know of through it (whether matter or energy, a God or gods, our bodies or our brains). By introducing a ground-breaking philosophical understanding of fundamental science as a 'field-phenomenological' science of awareness, Peter Wilberg challenges today's 'fundamentalist' scientific and religious taboo on understanding the fundamental nature of reality in a way that is itself fundamentally new.
