<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br><p>A radical new philosophy of self, revealing the ineffable root of both, and exposing all the rootless ideologies of the world that self made.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p><strong>'Who am I?' Such an easy question; and yet I keep getting it wrong.</strong></p><p>An original, wide-ranging and accessible philosophy of all and everything, presenting a synthesis of metaphysics, science, psychology, art, sex, gender, character, culture and history. Neither optimistic nor pessimistic, objective nor subjective, theist nor atheist, <em>Self and Unself</em> expresses the unfathomable paradox at the root of all branches of human experience, providing a new, radical ground of understanding, and solving, en route, all the actually important questions of philosophy; who I am, who you are, why we are here and what on earth is going on.</p><p> </p><p><strong>Everything? Yes, nothing.</strong></p><p>Why are philosophers and scientists baffled by reality?</p><p>Why must the mediocre man rely on method?</p><p>Why do the realest times of our lives feel unreal?</p><p>Why do women value men who 'don't take themselves seriously'?</p><p>Why do we find masks so terrifying?</p><p>Why doesn't the anxious mind get the joke?</p><p>Why do people never suffer for the reasons they think they do?</p><p>Why do people cling to absurd beliefs?</p><p>Why did we build this god-awful world?</p><p>Why am I still discontent?</p><p>Why am I still here?</p><p><em>Self and Unself</em> solves these, and many other mysterious whys, by laying bare the what that lies behind them.</p><p><br></p><p><em>It is so much better than you think. </em></p><p><em>It is so much worse than you think.</em></p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p>Praise for the work of Darren Allen</p><p><em>'Very funny, odd, surprisingly clever, brimming with interest... excellent...'</em> <strong>Terry Gilliam</strong></p><p><em>'So provocative...
