This 125 page work, seven years in preperation, sets-out a highly coherent new philosophical worldview The work begins from the premise that our universe is, in the most general terms, a network or society of interacting beings.

The general character of this network of beings is described in the form of a scheme of general inter-related categories. These categories are of `metaphysical scope'. They are, that is, intended to apply to all aspects of this or any other reality. Taken together, these categories provide a `generalist' or comprehensive model of the universe or network of beings in which we live.

In this work you will find six sections

1) Section one provides a set of basic or metaphysical philosophical categories. These describe the basic character of the universe, and will help you to achieve integration of both intellectual information and experiences of everyday life;

2) Section two uses the categories established in section one to develop a revolutionary theory of epistemology or knowledge. This theory will help you to keep an open - yet critical - awareness in relation to all ideas; and to use appropriate means to test the truth-value of your beliefs and those of others.

3) Section three provides a discussion of ethics or the law of being, or `Arta'. This discussion will help to open your eyes to the pervasive nature of moral and ethical concerns, and the revolutionary use of inquiry - rather than dogma - to address them.

4) Section four sets out a new theory of human nature called the `Body-Mind-I' model. Modeling human nature with the concepts in this section provides a uniquely powerful vantage point for developing an integrated understanding of the relationship between individuals and their world, as well as greatly enhanced ability to effectively inquire into the nature of the ordinary, as well as the spiritual and paranormal, phenomena which effect human beings.

5) Section five introduces the more `advanced' topics of synergy, organization, and structure. This section uses the preceeding development of the categories of being, experience, interaction, knowledge, ethics, and human nature to elaborate approaches of special interest to people concerned with modelling complex interaction systems.

6) Section six provides a basic discussion of Inquiry. The approach here is consistent with scientific method but provides an enlarged conception of inquiry - a conception which allows us to go far beyond the traditional domain in which the method of inquiry has been applied. This new approach enables us to use inquiry as a tool in daily life to discover - and enact - optimal patterns of interaction in our relationships with one another and with our world; this new approach also enables us to use inquiry as a means of resolving problems and exploring positive potentialities as an integral part of the process of `becoming increasingly able to work together to promote one another's being together with that of the world'.
