Science, Reality & Everyday Life - Paperback

by Menas C. Kafatos (Author)

What is this book that fell into your hands? It is an exploration of Reality, which examines Truth scientifically, philosophically (mainly from the point of view of the Triadic, non-dual system of understanding), and which originated in ancient India. We will look at parallels to 'Western' philosophical concepts, notably Plato, Socrates and Heraclitus. We will see some parallels to Trinity encountered in religion. However, the Triadic System is not a religion. It does not deny religion, it does not replace religion. Also, it does not replace science. On the contrary, I believe that the Triadic System helps us to uncover the deeper meaning of religion, if we are believing, and the deeper meaning of science, if we are searching and exploring. But most importantly, it may help us to see that these two "poles" are not opposites but complementary to each other. Of course, this work does not go against any philosophy, ancient or modern, because it holds that after all, despite all the apparent dualities, they all have the same Source.

This book is both a theoretical and a practical handbook. Many of the truths it expresses have to do with everyday life, approaching it in a scientific way. However, don't expect to "learn" the truth by only reading. Certainly what is written here is concise but not simplistic.
