The Serial Universe 1938 (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781162736563)

The Serial Universe 1938 is a book written by J.W. Dunne, first published in 1938. The book is an exploration of the concept of time and the nature of reality, with a particular focus on the idea of a ""serial universe"" in which events are interconnected across time. Dunne begins by discussing the limitations of our current understanding of time, arguing that the linear, one-dimensional model of time that we commonly use is inadequate for understanding the true nature of reality. He proposes instead a ""serial"" model of time, in which events are not merely sequential, but are interconnected in complex and often surprising ways.The book is divided into two parts. The first part is theoretical, and explores the philosophical and scientific implications of the serial universe model. Dunne discusses the concept of causality, the nature of consciousness, and the role of probability in shaping events. He also considers the possibility of precognition and other paranormal phenomena, arguing that they may be explained by the interconnectedness of events in the serial universe.The second part of the book is more practical, and provides examples of how the serial universe model can be applied in everyday life. Dunne discusses the use of dreams and other forms of intuition to gain insight into future events, and provides examples of how people have successfully used these techniques to make accurate predictions.Overall, The Serial Universe 1938 is a thought-provoking and challenging book that challenges readers to rethink their understanding of time and reality. It is a classic work of metaphysics and philosophy that continues to be influential to this day.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
