Beyond Dichotomy.
Welcome to Love & Philosophy, a project towards kaleidoscopic thinking, where we’re highlighting the patterns that connect across science, technology and philosophy, holding what might seem irreconcilable, all the while focusing on an expansive approach to life and mind that explores the connection of loving and knowing. New partnerships, ideas and collaborations are welcome. You can sign up for the newsletter here. Or reach out to admin(at)loveandphilosophy.com.

The Embrace of Contradiction.
A Light Little Guide for the Times (44 pages)
This is Book One of the Embracing Paradox pamphlet series published by Making Ways. It’s about the ability to hold seemingly contradictory ideas in mind at once, while maintaining motivation and meaning in troubled times.
As F. Scott Fitzgerald wrote: "The test of a first-rate intelligence is the ability to hold two opposed ideas in mind at the same time, and still retain the ability to function." This book is a step in that direction.
