On the World As Misrepresentation

Description:

In this paper length eBook, psychotherapist and philosopher Tim Kellebrew introduces the concepts of social referents of dialogue and how they contribute to a shared nature of mind. In this groundbreaking work that seeks to identify an emerging theory of epistemology that transcends and discredits 'private' views of representation, Kellebrew identifies four errors of a 'Cartesian inheritance' that have greatly contributed to misunderstandings that are steeped in dualism. A dualism that ignores the need for a greater context of community, peace, and relations that are based on dialogue. In extensive endnotes that are as interesting as the text, Kellebrew draws upon his 25 years of clinical experience and knowledge as a therapist to make unique observations about mind and consciousness that only a trained dialogical therapist could make. Kellebrew concludes that social referents of dialogue and the dialogical realm could lead to increased tolerance, acceptance and confirmation of Others, and to peace.
