Naked Philosophy
Concepts are clothes the mind forgot it was wearing.
It’s time to undress.
Everything you think is permanent—your "Self," "Truth," and even "Reality" itself—is actually a mental construct designed for survival, not accuracy.
Naked Philosophy takes you backstage to show you the scaffolding of your own mind. By understanding "The Great Separation" between our abstract thoughts and our embodied experience, you can stop fighting the illusion and start navigating the "Flux" of real life with clarity and confidence.
You don’t have to choose between being rational and being spiritual.
This book weaves together the latest frontier neuroscience (Solms, Friston, McGilchrist) with the ancient wisdom of Taoism and Nominalism. It offers a coherent, modern worldview—Gymnosticism—that satisfies the sceptic’s intellect while soothing the seeker’s soul. It is a guide to "Embodied Immanence" for the 21st century.
We live in an age of "Disembodied Transcendentalism"—disconnected from our bodies, isolated from nature, and anxious about a world that feels increasingly unreal.
Discover the art of "Poise". This is not just a philosophy; it is a way of living that reconnects you to your "Body Field." Learn how to inhabit the world lightly, anchoring yourself securely without becoming rigid, and finding the freedom to meet uncertainty with grace.
To understand who you are, you must understand how you were built.
Follow the fascinating evolutionary journey of "Nemo"—the biological everyman—from a single cell to a complex human. By seeing how your brain evolved to prioritize survival over truth, you will learn to spot the "Imagos" (mental illusions) that trap you and discover the liberation of "The Chuckle"—the quiet amusement of a mind that finally understands itself.
