Point Omega Point: The Omega Standpoint (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781502956484)

This volume of aphoristic philosophy directly follows on from 'Freedom and Determinism' (2001) with not only with a deeper understanding of the distinction between Nature and Civilization but greater insight into the division within both of sensual and sensible alternatives, as well as with a wider interpretation of Nature and Civilization that brings a more exactingly comprehensive perspective to bear on each, whilst still adhering to a specific civilized bias, as before. But as well as an enlargement of perspective which allows for a sharp differentiation between the natural and the man-made, or artificial, there is an enhancement of logic that clarifies the issues of salvation and damnation as never before, so that there can be no doubt as to the issues involved and on what basis a sensible alternative to a sensual predominance must be achieved, if it is to be achieved. In this respect, the distinction between freedom and binding, so characteristic of various earlier texts, is less symptomatic of the one or the other than of both sensual and sensible contexts, if with vastly different emphases, as described in some detail in what is, by any accounts, the most lucidly and logically consistent apologetics for an omega-oriented alternative to an alpha-besotted decadence and/or barbarity as could be imagined. - A Centretruths editorial
