The current framing of the cultural debate in terms of materialism versus religion has allowed materialism to remain unchallenged as the only rationally viable metaphysics. This book aims to change that. She exposes the absurd implications of materialism and then, in a unique way, presents a hard non-materialist metaphysics backed by skepticism, compelling empirical evidence, and clear logical argumentation. It sets out

a consistent structure on the basis of which every natural phenomenon and physical law, as well as the modalities of human consciousness, can be interpreted and understood without materialistic assumptions.

If the hypotheses and formulations of the book are correct, consciousness does not end with death, and the brain is simply a reflection of the process by which the mind localizes its own flow. Physical death entails a decompression or delocalization of consciousness. The brain is in the mind, not the mind in the brain. And there is no abstract, strictly objective universe outside the mind.

The book concludes with a series of informed discussions on the afterlife, psychic phenomena and other related topics.

Our readers are already well acquainted with Bernardo Kastrup, a philosopher who will comprehend the depth of Jungian psychology from the perspective of modern philosophy. Avoiding ponderous academicism, Bernardo Kastrup, in the best traditions of classical philosophy, leaves no stone unturned from the main prejudice of our time – materialism. Easily, ironically, bitingly, clearly, drawing on the entire apparatus of philosophical thought and modern science, Bernardo Kastrup proves with all clarity and obviousness why materialism is really complete nonsense.
