Publisher's Synopsis
In his latest book, Dr. Jacques makes sense of the revolutionary breakthroughs in mathematics, logic, metaphysics and science of the past several centuries. These astonishing discoveries are often not understood by non-specialists because of their technical complexities and weird obscurities. In Reality 101 these world-liberating ideas, which are transformative for the meaning of humanity, are rendered accessible to everyone. Reality 101 accomplishes this through a course of lectures presented in the format of a living classroom. And you're now invited to attend this vital course. And, hey, join in the discussion with all your personal passion! But please be forewarned. Playfulness and laughter are always permitted in Prof. Jacques' classroom, but never dishonesty with the universe.
Dr. Jacques teaches philosophy at Lycoming College amidst the relaxed and natural beauty of Central Pennsylvania. His previous books are The Cat Who Loved Beethoven, a philosophical novel of home and happiness; and The Republic, a clear and concise introduction to the innovative greatness of the modern big republic, its creative self-directing civil society, and its immensely productive private enterprise. Dr. Jacques is presently at work on Reality 101: The Second Course, which addresses the subjects of ethics, politics, history, art and religion.
