This illuminating exploration of reality introduces The Consciousness-Reality Integration Theory (CRIT), uniting prominent theories of philosophy and science under one logico-theoretic framework. Drawing upon a meticulous examination of philosophical principles, cognitive science, and the nature of consciousness, this book challenges established paradigms and presents a new worldview substantiated by skepticism, hard empirical evidence, and logical argumentation. It dismantles the absurd implications of physicalism and dualism, and argues for an idealist metaphysics with elements of panpsychism. As such, this book establishes why consciousness and reality are inseparable and how our understanding of the world is fundamentally shaped by our own cognitive limitations. Moreover, it renders unreasonable the nihilism and cynicism that physicalism has introduced into Western culture, culminating in the modern Meaning Crisis. The reality-theoretic framework introduced in this work presents a worldview that is not only logically coherent and explanatorily powerful, but also deeply meaningful.
