In this highly original and thought-provoking book John Leslie unfolds his view of the nature of the universe. This view is unusual, but rich in philosophical inspiration and suggestion. Over the last three decades Leslie has been developing his theory in a series of path-breaking publications; now at last he gives it its definitive exposition. It may be hard to believe that the universe is as he says it is--but it is hard also to resist his compelling ideas and arguments.
Does the universe exist as a manifestation of infinite minds, and what are the implications of such a reality for our understanding of existence? John Leslie, a philosopher known for his work on the fine-tuning of the universe and the ethics of existence, presents a comprehensive defense of his metaphysical framework. He synthesizes decades of research into a singular argument that challenges conventional physicalist interpretations of the cosmos, proposing instead a reality rooted in the nature of mind and value.
What You Will Find
Experts and readers often note the high level of philosophical abstraction and the challenging nature of Leslie's arguments. The text is recognized as a significant contribution to contemporary metaphysics, though it requires a strong background in philosophical discourse to fully grasp the nuances of his cosmological theory.
