Freedom Evolves? The Discrete Freedom Sequence
Our eonic periodization is about to uncover one of the most remarkable mysteries of human history, and evolution, a windfall that leads us to the core of the Kantian philosophy of history. It is the only clue we have to the otherwise invisible action of the eonic sequence. On [...]

Freedom’s Causality, a review of Kant’s Politics at Amazon.com
Here is a quote on this from the book:
What would “bridging nature and freedom” mean outside of politics? For Kant the big questions are nearly always epistemological: thus, bridging freedom and nature might mean specifying the conditions under which investigators of the empirical world (scientists) are [...]

Selection from World History And The Eonic Effect
In a nutshell, there is, as yet, no methodologically sound basis for a theory of evolution. That’s a surprising statement, but the point will become obvious as we look at the gray area between history and evolution. We should recall the reservations of Kant, as to the hope [...]

Freedom’s Causality, Teleology And Politics
