| Introduction | I have written nine books unfolding my philosophy of ecstatic naturalism, which is concerned with a description of the nature of self-creating nature (nature naturing) and the orders that are generated (nature natured). I recommend starting with "A Semiotic Theory of Theology and Philosophy," (Cambridge University Press). This work has emerged out of an ongoing dialogue with: phenomenology, pragmatism, pragmaticism (Peirce, about whom I have written a book), naturalism (Santayana and Dewey), Karl Jaspers, Wilhelm Reich (about whom I have written a book), Schopenhauer, and Hinduism (in the non-dual form). |
