J. W. von Goethe (1749 - 1832): "... the nature of God, immortality, the essential character of our soul and its relationship with our body - these are eternal problems which the philosophers cannot help us with".

The 'theory of life' that prevailed in our culture and in almost all the world in recent millennia seemed problematic to me too, so I started to think about it.
A theory of the foundations of those "eternal problems" emerged.
This theory transcends the reader beyond almost all philosophy of the preceding 2,400 years.
It was then a fairly easy step to a new, coherent, true-to-life, democracy, diversity and nature friendly formulation - E-PS.

Featuring 'forces' determine effect.

Tension of featuring 'forces' resolved, with the effect that you are here reading this, rather than elsewhere doing something else.

So: "Effect, through, and indeed as, tension of 'forces'".

Such 'forces': indefinite- -dynamic.

Mother Nature never precisely repeats- -duplicates anything, rather She features- -expresses endless diversity, indeed endless diversity endlessly changing ..... even one's physical body and environment keep changing.

So: There is not a static, definite self or I or ego, or indeed elementary particle, electron, gluon or 'God particle'.

Rather: Tension of indefinite- -dynamic, multi-faceted 'forces', generating indefinite- -dynamic multi-faceted effects.

And so: "Effect, through, and indeed as, tension of 'forces', indefinite- -dynamic and (inferentially) multi-faceted".

Such Mother Nature 'forces' in tension generate multi-faceted effects.

So: "Effect, through, and indeed as, tension of 'forces', indefinite- -dynamic and (inferentially) multi-faceted"; a multi-faceted world continuously evolving.

E-PS is a new philosophy system; a new formulation of the nature of things; a high intellect formulation rather than one informed by intellect of the primal senses (sight, sound, touch, taste and smell).

The latter - intellect of the primal senses informing a formulation - effects- -determines a world of observer and object, in space and time.

Like any system, it features a whole set of self-reinforcing concepts.

The primal intellect system features a system of I or ego, static, in a world of definite forms and truths, facts and realities; an incoherent, _not_ true-to-life world ... if it comes into tension with higher intellect .... perhaps a fate from which it is quite safe!

Quality check: If one stands at the gate of a sports arena and asks each of the perhaps thousands of fans coming out after the event for the truth of the event, how many thousands of supposed truths will you be replied ....

So, instead of trying to fit oneself and the world into a primal intellect-informed formulation of the nature of things, treat and upgrade yourself and the world to E-PS; to a more coherent and true-to-life system ... and perhaps the world will come to rely less on brawn and more on brain to resolve tensions of 'forces'.

Other systems emerged at approx. the same time as Plato's formulation:

In India: Hinduism and Buddhism.
In China: Confucianism and (pre communism) Taoism/Daoism.
In the land of al Kinana, approx. 1,300 years earlier, Abraham set forth the first of the three Abrahamic religions and two others followed, the idea of one (big) god rather than many (equal) gods.

E-PS is quite similar to Taoism/Daoism, but perhaps has a more logic-structured emergence, while perhaps Taoism is more intuitive.

Quality control: Perhaps compare the different systems- -theories to effect an opinion of which have been the most disastrous for the world.

Compare how coherent and true-to-life they fare as 'forces' in tension with the new 'force' - E-PS.
