Synopsis

A New Radical Metaphysics is a project of what has been categorized as ‘Existence Philosophy,’ a successor term to ‘Existentialism.’ The author opposes monistic scientism, appealing instead to a spiritual aspect of the mind—that which is traditionally regarded as the soul. Rejecting the reality of one’s soul is nothing less than trading one’s human potential for a mess of reality-poor technological pottage. The need to develop one’s soul is paramount in human existence. Otherwise, as stated in the epitaph, “we are only insects crawling among other ephemeral insects on a speck of surface mud and water amid the appalling immensities of the physical universe.”

About this title

About the Author

Richard Schain is an independent philosopher dividing his time between Alamos, Mexico; Sonoita, Arizona; and Menton, France. His books reflect the predicament of a non-religious metaphysically-minded individual living in an age of scientism, materialism, and superannuated religions. Nevertheless, he finds the search for his own inner reality and for a universal metaphysical reality uplifting for his soul. In a former life, the author was a professor of neurology and psychiatry at the University of California, Los Angeles.
