The Edges of Thought
This is a small landing page for my 2026 book. It tackles the big questions of philosophy and tries to find simple explanations. As Arthur Schopenhauer (1788-1860) said "the task is not so much to see what no one has yet seen; but to think what nobody has yet thought, about that which everybody sees".
Here it is, my new book named “The Edges of Thought”. I have decided to publish it myself, using a self-publishing service. It would be hard to find a publisher for it anyway. Nevertheless it contains real solutions to the big questions in my opinion, and I hope you will find it interesting. Most typos should hopefully be eliminated now.
If you prefer to read the online version, you can download the PDF version of the first draft for the book for FREE HERE. A larger laptop or desktop screen is recommended to read it. It has .. pages and about .. graphics. Product details:

The group that inspired the book is named FRIAM group. If you want to learn more about it read the first chapter which contains the topics we discussed and the persons who were involved in these discussions. I have have used the available AIs at the moment - Gemini, ChatGPT and Claude - but more as a tool and not without checking the results, mostly to summarize other books. More about the usage in the book itself.
The book contains possible answers for the solutions of the big unsolved questions in philsophy - the problem of free will, the hard problem of consciousness and subjective experience, the mind-body problem, the paradox of intentionality, and other paradoxes. It turns out that the most ordinary things are often the secret behind the most complex phenomena. Who would have tought that the clutter of office desks in form of sticky notes and calendar entries or ordinary places of entertainment like cinemas and movie theaters help to solve the big unsolved questions? If this sounds interesting then have a look at the book.
