The Emergent Method Part 2: A Modern Science Approach to the Phenomenology and Ethics of Emergentism

Have you ever wondered how order arises in the universe? How does this affect you? Your existence? Your life? Your choices? Your future? This book, in 2 parts, introduces readers to the philosophical theory of Emergentism. It explores Emergentism’s many ramifications in areas of science, phenomenology, philosophy of mind, ethics and morality. The book further offers readers how Emergentism may be incorporated into daily life in very practical ways. Part 2 covers a list of far-reaching ideas, some not completely unfamiliar:Instincts in animals arise from the competition and cooperation that is already evident in plant life.We can solve the hard problem of consciousness if we look at it from the perspective of nonlocal waves rather than local particles.Free-will arises in a sentient being through an interoperability with its environment. Free-will is not an illusion, but independence from our environment is an illusion.A model of the self must include its environment to be complete. We are quadune in nature, not just triune.We can’t teach the truth; it must be realised. A great teacher leads his or her students to asking the right questions so that the truth may be revealed.God is, God isn’t, and God may be, are all axiomatic and incomplete life-stances. A non-axiomatic and complete approach must be processual - an emergent revelation in the here-and-now.Natural Law has the unique property of being an objective moral truth.Emergentism’s catch-phrase is emergent self-organising, and for sentient beings, emergent self-actualising.This book is directed to all those who question life, philosophy, science and themselves.
