Does the real world, defined as a world of objects that exist independent of human interests, concerns, and cognitive activities, really exist? Jan Westerhoff argues that we have good reason to believe it does not. His discussion considers four main facets of the idea of the real world, ranging from the existence of a separate external and internal world (comprising various mental states congregated around a self), to the existence of an ontological foundation that grounds the existence of all the entities in the world.

In We Might Be NPCs, Ray Brownlee takes you on a sharp, funny, and mind-bending tour through one of the strangest ideas in modern thought, the Simulation Hypothesis. Blending philosophy, physics, and a dash of pop culture, this book asks the unsettling question: What if reality isn’t… real?

John Donne is well known as one of literature’s great love poets. But his writing is also infused with a deep-yet-playful philosophy. Satirist and cleric both, in Roz Kaveney’s engrossing ebook, John Donne is the man who thought too much - about love and death and his rejection of the choices of his family to rise up the church's ranks.

This book explores how meaning, often assumed to be a stable or innate feature of reality, is in fact a constructed phenomenon — shaped, transmitted, and manipulated through language, cultural systems, economic structures, and ideology. Drawing on thinkers such as Wittgenstein, Lacan, Orwell, and contemporary cultural critics, the text unpacks how language limits thought, how culture recycles and fossilizes symbolic forms, and how capitalism turns meaning into a consumable commodity.

Explore the profound power of zero, not as an ethereal void, but as the fundamental marker of absence. This book delves into how zero, through the rational process of diminishing quantities, provides the essential boundary between something and nothing.

Uncover why zero is not a mystical entity, but a logical necessity for comprehending the complete spectrum of quantitative relationships.

In Humanity and Human Sexuality: The Origin and Nature of Sexual Preference, Dr. Kevin Franklin embarks on an extraordinary exploration of the human being, of mind, and their potential. Delving deep into themes of confusion and disorder, he unveils how a 'trickster-mind' can hinder an individual's true potential for life and freedom. Drawing from his own profound experiences of childhood psychosis, which once seemed to destine him for a life overshadowed by schizophrenia and the threat of early suicide, Dr. Franklin defies expectations.

What if the most powerful force shaping the modern world was… nothing? We live in an age of deep uncertainty. Institutions are questioned, truths are fractured, and the search for meaning often feels more like a personal burden than a cultural inheritance. Yet few realise just how much of our present-day worldview is quietly shaped by a radical idea: nihilism—the belief that there is no inherent meaning, purpose, or absolute truth.

Contemplations is a radical departure from mainstream thought on matters of culture, religion, and philosophy for the simple reason that it offers to one who chooses to see as I have seen, an experiential, open, and earnest path to the Sacred in this time of spiritual deception, blind grasping for purchase on purpose, and chronic longing for a crumb of dignity and for a taste of meaning in life. Set your expectations from the beginning: Contemplations is not an instruction manual to health, wealth, and happiness.
