The Genetic Universe

The premise from which The Genetic Universe unfolds is simple enough, although hard to believe, the universe is invisible and silent and there is no independent existence, existence is a human attribution therefore it needs a new definition. The ramifications of such new definition of existence expand to several related subjects such as awareness, perception, transcendence, the actual purpose of the human senses and clarification of what is involved in the subject of free will vs determinism. As a result of such argumentative unfolding, intelligent design gets a new level of respectability and in similar fashion that modern physics made traditional metaphysics obsolete, the metaphysical perspective developed in the work (absolute realization) makes analytical philosophy obsolete; not as a scientific subject centering on logic, but as it being philosophy per se. Critical Praise for The Genetic Universe: Revised Edition …“Garcia-Gonzalez does a commendable job of taking complex topics like absolute realization, actuality, emanation, and existential facticity and helping the reader digest them through relatable examples such as cake cutting, hallucinations, and dreaming. Taking his analysis to another level, his discourse on images and color blends science and philosophy so seamlessly that proponents of either will not feel out of place or that their dogma and thought processes are being overlooked.” __The US Review of Books, Mihir Shah Reviewer RECOMMENDED by the US Review “To call The Genetic Universe ‘wide-ranging’ would be to both accurately describe it and do it a disservice. While intellectual readers interested in such complex blends will find García-González’s language and scholarship appropriately challenging and intriguing, the examples and illustrations of metaphysics’ relationship to everyday living and dilemmas of the human condition lends it an appeal to lay audiences seeking mind-expanding connections and unusual discourses.” D.
