Materialism Is Incomplete Even As A Theory

Philosophy Is The Childhood Of The Intellect, And A Culture That Tries To Skip It Will Never Grow Up.

The Universe Has Become Not Only Conscious And Aware Of Itself But Capable In Some Respects Of Choosing Its Path Into The Future--though All Three, The Consciousness, The Knowledge, And The Choice, Are Dispersed Over A Vast Crowd Of Beings, Acting Both Individually And Collectively.

The Point Is... To Live One's Life In The Full Complexity Of What One Is, Which Is Something Much Darker, More Contradictory, More Of A Maelstrom Of Impulses And Passions, Of Cruelty, Ecstacy, And Madness, Than Is Apparent To The Civilized Being Who Glides On The Surface And Fits Smoothly Into The World.

Every Subjective Phenomenon Is Essentially Connected With A Single Point Of View, And It Seems Inevitable That An Objective, Physical Theory Will Abandon That Point Of View.

Everything, Living Or Not, Is Constituted From Elements Having A Nature That Is Both Physical And Nonphysical - That Is, Capable Of Combining Into Mental Wholes. So This Reductive Account Can Also Be Described As A Form Of Panpsychism: All The Elements Of The Physical World Are Also Mental.
