Description: A comprehensive explanation of the relationship between formal scholastic metaphysics and the philosophical foundation of mysticism and the Perennial philosophy.
Brief description: Peter Jones has spent most of his working life as a musician and entrepreneur, but as an independent researcher has for the last two decades been researching the relationship between metaphysics, physics, psychology, religion and mysticism. Over this time he has become critical of professional philosophy for its failure to engage with the Perennial philosophy and for the stagnation of the discipline that is its consequence. He writes in the hope of making a contribution to the wider understanding of the Perennial philosophy and a growing appreciation of its plausibility and explanatory power within and beyond philosophy. He lives in West Yorkshire, UK.
Review Quotes: The manuscript is engaging from the very first paragraphs, where the author clearly lays out the problems it seeks to address. It is very well written and the topic very relevant. - Bernardo Kastrup, founder of Essentia Foundation, bestselling author of The Idea of the World
