Synopsis

A consistent, comprehensive, rational and consequent worldview and universal perspective. The book seeks to offer the reader an unbiased, unmortgaged look at the way things really are, without any preconceptions, entrenched traditions, beliefs, or hypocrisy. It provides some deep reading for those interested in the bigger questions of life. This book encourages the seeker of fact to consider the deeper questions of existence with a tabula rasa (clean slate) devoid of preconceived notions for an updated, more accurate understanding of truth. Throughout history, people and institutions have believed many different things about truth. We are living in an age hundreds and thousands of years after some of philosophies and religions great thinkers, and the author makes the case that we should be able to recognize, define and understand the true nature of things a lot more clearly by now. There are serious thinkers who are not happy and content with the way truth has been defined according to these old traditions, creating a need for fundamental philosophical redirection. By forgoing archaic traditions, superstitions, and preconceptions, readers are led to separate fiction from fact to come to grips with the realization of the way things really are.

About this title

Synopsis:

Somos holds that it is absolutely essential for the attainment of a full, rational understanding and plausible ultimate perspective concerning our physical universe that our religions and philosophy be joined in reasoned conceptual agreement. From a scientific point of view, the author finds that the long sought after field unification is possible only in what he calls the perfect, polarity-less state of eternal, infinite energy -- thus it could never be achieved in our imperfect, physical and temporal environment. Such are the provocative ideas considered by the author in his updated philosophising on a wanting universe of physical being and existence, on its being right or wrong, and on its morality and rationality in light of absolute perfection. As the title Tabula Rasa reminds us, a blackboard covered with yesterday's theorems must be erased to allow room for new concepts. A stimulating and wide-ranging work of intellect, "Philogos/Tabula Rasa" provides deep reading for those interested in the bigger questions. It is not for the fainthearted or traditionally entrenched soul, but it can be delivering for the sincere, open-minded, serious seeker of fact and truth.

About the Author:

Somos, before his professional retirement and sans his pseudonym, was an ordinary business executive who traveled the world over from early on in his career to gain insight and a better understanding of life and of all those things about us, first hand. He is a relentless student of philosophy and of religious concepts.
