Current Précis: In a Nutshell: This is probably the best place to start!
Forthcoming New Book
New book: “Consciousness & Reality: Final &
Definitive Conclusions” To be Released about March or April, 2012: Paperback
$19.95, (Download price undetermined as yet.
Contains crucial chapters on Quantum Physics –on d’Espagnat and Niels
Bohr which I think Substantiate my thesis in
the Real World and I make a claim for validity based on the very highly
similar conclusions we have reached about actual reality!

my ideas.. Here
I will ask a specific favor of you. If you
do download this book, and attain some understanding of it, that you email me
your comments at jiglowitz@rcsis.com
. Please insert a header like “in
reference to your book” so that I will not delete it, unopened as “spam”! Note: this link will be updated as time goes
on. This particular version, (third
edition), contains the new D’Espagnat appendix which I think exposes brand new
possibilities and a connection with Quantum Physics and which directly
addresses the problem of realism itself!
Ordinary materialism
just does not work in the world of modern
science!
Here is a link
to new reviews as they arrive! I recommend the David Nyman review,
(contained within this link), and originally posted on Amazon © as the deepest
and most perceptive! Another excellent
and perceptive review of my overall concept is Blaise Lara’s available as a machine
translation on this same site.
Note: Chapters 1 through 3:
the Origins of my Conception might be of particular interest as they explain
and validate my very different and original beginning perspective on this
ancient problem. Here is an old link to free mp3
versions of the chapters if you might be interested in listening to them on your IPod ©
while doing something else. It is a reasonable
study tool but it lacks the explanatory diagrams, of course.
Here is a link to a
recording I made of my next book , (whose function is to explore the
consequences of my conclusions in the context of our normal living. It was just a beginning sketch, but I think
it will tell you
Where I want to go!

Recommended for Philosophers only!) [HTML]: most others would
probably do better by starting with the Précis, and then the two online
papers (above) which correspond to Chapters 1 and 2 of the Book
respectively. From there you had best go to the end of chapter 2 and
go on in the book. (Note: a much more recent and hopefully much
clearer Précis of my ideas is presented above as “In a
Nutshell”.)
