Isaac Newton & The Calculus of the Cosmos exposes the man behind the laws: a solitary mind that fused mathematics, physics, and mysticism into a single, dangerous clarity. This is not a hagiography or a dry chronology. It’s an unsparing portrait of obsession—of the fallen apple that became an argument with the universe, and of a discipline so relentless it remade how we measure reality. JD Arden traces the hidden architecture of Newton’s thinking: how algebra became prophecy, how experiments read like incantations, and how a mind that could invent calculus also kept one eye on ...

The modern materialist approach to life has conspicuously failed to explain such central mind-related features of our world as consciousness, intentionality, meaning, and value. This failure to account for something so integral to nature as mind, argues philosopher Thomas Nagel, is a major problem, threatening to unravel the entire naturalistic world picture, extending to biology, evolutionary theory, and cosmology. Since minds are features of biological systems that have developed through evolution, the standard materialist version of evolutionary biology is fundamentally incomplete.

A deeply thoughtful self-help series. In our second volume, we add thoughts about the structure of the Universe to our models. Come join our discussion as we use modern science to construct a view of the Cosmos as seen from the outside and our existence as humans within it. With this new information, we will improve our understanding of what it is to exist as a human here on Earth. The Outsider Model If we want to improve ourselves, we should first try to understand ourselves. If we want to control our thoughts and our actions, we should first try to understand the origins of our thoughts ...
