VERIPHYSICS: THE RETURN OF THE REAL

THE RETURN OF THE REAL

The Enlightenment promised to liberate the mind. Instead it locked reason inside a box and declared everything outside to be unknowable. Three centuries later, we have seen the results. Democracy no longer represents the will of the people, economics that promised prosperity delivered poverty and debt, science can no longer reproduce its own results or correct its own errors, and the philosophers who enthroned reason ended by abandoning it. These failures are the collapse of a philosophical framework that was flawed at its foundation. In 1781, Immanuel Kant persuaded the West that reality as it truly is lies forever beyond the reach of the human mind. But Kant's assertion of the unknowability of reality was never proven, and it has now been conclusively refuted.

VERIPHYSICS: THE RETURN OF THE REAL unites both halves of Vox Day's landmark dismantling of 250 years of Enlightenment philosophy.  The Treatise diagnoses the collapse of the Enlightenment and constructs its successor. The Refutationdemonstrates how reason has been falsely imprisoned for more than two centuries. And the Triveritas shows how the most difficult philosophical problems ever constructed were successfully solved.
