I stopped the distribution of my book that was mentioned in a previous post. Among the grounds for this
action is my assessment, that it does not entirely meet the high standard of quality I
want. If you're sure you're interested in the content anway, an EPUB
version can still be downloaded from the german national library: http://www.dnb.de/EN/Home/home_node.html (Use the search function.)
Furthermore, I have lost interested in participating in contemporary mainstream philosophy. One major reason for this development is the fact that philosophical materialism is still widely considered a rational explanation for the world as we know it, despite the obvious and undeniable reality/existence of perception. (For a fancier expression replace "perception" with "consciousness" or with "qualia" in the previous sentence.)
Materialism/Physicalism is fundamentally incapable of explaining or justifying perception as we know it. This insane "religion" can only "define it away" into a mere behavior (of physical stuff). It's not really hard to grasp that behavior of matter remains just that, behavior of matter, no matter which ways it's virtually lumped together into objects or entities by the means of language definitions. There would be no reasonable basis for ethics and morality. Subjective experience could not be truly pleasant nor could it indeed be painful (in materialism), because subjective experience would be an arbitrary construct of the mind which wouldn't really be there, just like the mind itself wouldn't "be", as such. Yet anyone who rebukes the reality of joy and suffering must be considered insane,
...
at least according to my version of rationality ... .
