The Making of an Intellectual

This is the intellectual autobiography of a non-academic philosopher. In his lifetime, Patrick M. Foster has solved a series of important and as-yet-unsolved philosophical problems, including the mind-body problem, the logical elimination of ontological dualism (and its spirit/matter, or sacred/profane, and social hierarchy spin-offs), the solution to philosophic semantics (language/reality correspondence), and the derivation of human ethical values from the natural world. He has articulated the proper understanding of democracy, a more comprehensive version of bioregionalism, and a devastating critique of the discipline of philosophy.

Because these claims are bold, but will likely have significant effects on the future of our world, this book attempt to show how they originated, evolved, and were completed by Dr. Foster.
