What is the world is the deepest question one could ask. Its answer requires an understanding of both matter and mind, and also of the relationship between them. This book offers a new approach to answering this question, based on the concept of representation and resulting in an identity theory regarding the relationship between mind and matter. In doing that, it offers a new way of thinking about the notoriously counterintuitive quantum phenomena and also about the totality of everything, what we call ‘the universe.’ That new understanding leads to a projection about the future of the universe for the next 10 million years and has practical implications about our present-day way of life and worldviews.
Про автора
Stoyan Kurtev was born in 1970 in Sofia, Bulgaria. His academic background is mainly in Cognitive Psychology/Neuroscience and Philosophy of Mind. He currently works as a postdoctoral researcher at the Department of Psychology, University of Leicester, UK. Although he has no formal training in quantum physics, he has achieved some degree of expertise in this subject through self-study and is an active member of the Quantum Cognition community, whose aim is to apply the formalism of quantum mechanics to other domains of science, including psychology. His main interests, however, are in the deeper, more philosophical questions addressed by this newly emerging scientific discipline. In the course of the last decade he has developed his unique approach to answering those questions, and the present book is the result of this endeavour.
