The Transparent Becoming of World

The Transparent Becoming of World undertakes a penetrating inquiry into the quotidian world we take for granted and the brain that silently hoists our bubbles of world-thrownness. After critiquing the traditional views of direct realism, indirect realism and idealism, the continual becoming of world is explained by a novel integration of process dynamics, as formulated by Whitehead, Heidegger and Bohm, with the burgeoning field of quantum neurophilosophy. A rich ontological duality newly opened by quantum brain theory is exploited: the “between-two” of dual quantum modes. Existence as world-thrownness is between-two in waking and dreaming alike. This highly original interdisciplinary book may be of interest to philosophers, psychologists, neuroscientists, consciousness researchers, indeed anyone attracted to the enigma of their own lived existence.

Kunio Yasue, Notre Dame Seishin University, Japan:
That science can make deep contributions to philosophy is well illustrated by this book. Prof. Globus furthers the forty year development of quantum brain dynamics and opens new vistas for duality and the ontology of world with his theory that our very existence is 'between-two'.
