What is the World

What is the world is the deepest question one could ask. Its answer requires an understanding of both matter and mind, and also of the relationship between them. This book offers a new approach to answering this question, based on the concept of representation and resulting in an identity theory regarding the relationship between mind and matter. In doing that, it offers a new way of thinking about the notoriously counterintuitive quantum phenomena and also about the totality of everything, what we call 'the universe' That new understanding leads to a projection about the future of the universe for the next 10 million years and has practical implications about our present-day way of life and worldviews.
