Galileo's Error: Foundations for a New Science of Consciousness
Philip Goff
@waldenpod @Philip_Goff @dustin_crummett so much of what he’s called for (new science that doesn’t make Galileo’s error and overcomes materialism while remaining totally consonant with contemporary physics, etc) is waiting to be taken up in books like “The Concept of Nature” (1920) & “Science & the Modern World” (1925)

Facing Gaia: Eight Lectures on the New Climatic Regime
Bruno LaTour
If you're listening, @jordanbpeterson, I'd love to see you engage with some actual intellectuals on these questions, eg, Bruno Latour. You'll find he's well ahead of many of your shallow criticisms. Still you'd do well to read & respond to "Facing Gaia" https://t.co/82jI7XFOu4 https://t.co/fsroY2vQBb

Socrates: Plato's Apology of Socrates and Crito, With a Part of His Phaedo
Benjamin Jowett
At one point in my new book, I suggest that Socrates bears some resemblance to Plato's Receptacle (Timaeus): Socratic virtue is cosmologically grounded.

Intelligent Design: The Bridge Between Science & Theology
William A. Dembski

Metaphysics: The Key Concepts
Nikk Effingham
@nath_ormond @Philip_Goff Like materialism, dualism, & idealism, panpsychism is a metaphysical interpretation of the available scientific evidence. It is not itself a falsifiable scientific hypothesis. Other criteria are needed in metaphysics.
