Synopsis

ýWill Crichtonýs philosophical system offers a fully naturalistic account of experience. It presents an explanation of consciousness and opens the door to a naturalistic theology.This book presents a revolutionary way of thinking about the world starting with structure, change, and tendency as categories encompassing everything in space and time, at all scales and levels of organization. The principle of causality derived from the logical analysis of these categories reveals a transcendent factor in nature.Crichtonýs account of ethics and health is derived from the nature of consciousness and individuality. It demonstrates the indispensability of ethics to individual health as well as the economic welfare of a community and its quality of life.Physics has been a halfway house from supernaturalism to naturalismýits ýlawsý being supernatural in principle.Crichtonýs account of nature includes the findings of modern science, but furnishes a better understanding of elementary reality and nature. It paves the way for a revitalized civilization.ýýK. KaszubaýCrichtonýs work furnishes a foundation for a psychology that includes the reality of consciousness on the same foundation as the reality of the body and brain. Natural existence includes both conscious experiences and atoms. The source of consciousness exists in a purely naturalistic, though not entirely material, universe. His system is pregnant with psychological theoriesýýýFrom the Foreword by Carl Semmelroth
