Sapere Aude: An Executive Summary of The Trilogy Naturalistic Reason

This executive summary of the trilogy entitled Naturalistic Reason shows how interactions of space and matter explain the laws of physics, shows that they are ontological causes of two basically different kinds of efficient causes that are jointly responsible for the regularities found by specialized sciences, and using a phenomenal intrinsic property of matter to explain how consciousness is part of the natural world, shows that consciousness is a pseudo-efficient cause of a metaphysical stage in the evolution of life, known as Western civilization, that follows the stage of other civilizations on Earth.
