This is a philosophical study of qualitative consciousness, characteristic examples of which are pains, experienced colors, sounds, etc. Consciousness is analyzed as the having of qualia. Phenomenal properties or qualia are problematical because they lack appropriate bearers. The relation of having is problematical because none of the typical candidates for this relation — introspection, inner monitoring, higher level thoughts — is capable of explaining what it looks like to have a quale . The qualia problem is solved by introducing a bundle theory of phenomenal objects. Phenomenal objects are bundles of qualia. Thus there is no need for independent qualia bearers. The having problem is solved by introducing a bundle theory of the self. To have a quale is for it to be in the bundle one is. Thus no further relations are needed to explain how qualia are had. This study strives for phenomenological adequacy. Thus the first-person point of view dominates throughout. (Series A)

Coronaspection is a groundbreaking series of forty video interviews concerning COVID-19 and its spiritual challenges, featuring major faith leaders worldwide. Coronaspection was created as a means of providing hope and inspiration to faithful of all religions, as humanity struggled, and as it continues to struggle, with the challenges posed by COVID-19. This volume seeks to answer questions that have emerged following the release of the video interviews: How is religion functioning during COVID-19? Do different religions respond to the crisis differently? These and similar questions require a synthetic view of the project, which in turn is based on an analysis of its themes and messages.

Terrell, a recently single 30-year-old Businessman, enters a very cold and dark point in his life, after catching his partner, of 4 years, in their bed with someone else. Terrell finds himself in the middle of a battle between love and sex. A lot has changed since he's been in a 4 year committed relationship. Dating has merely evolved to keystrokes on the computer. True romantic love appears non-existent, whereas sex, on the other hand, is all too common. Disease is on the rise as infection rates climb the charts, and more and more people suffer. These issues concern Terrell as he contemplates on giving in to this pressure of a life without true romantic love but only sex. In pursuit for happiness, Terrell almost stops believing in love until he examines his own personal hurts and disappointments, and finally finds love.

InIntrospection: Prose and Poetry, Enosh Aganah, through a varied collection of writings, considers the universal human emotions brewing in the wake of global crises and constrictions. He gives voice to those who cannot speak for themselves as he paints candid pictures with his words. His poems capture the essence of the diversity of life and the challenges we face in spite of where we live. The common thread in all of his writing is emotional honesty and truth, the very art of expression that considers the geographical, philosophical, historical, moral, and ideological diversities of life as they relate to the human fabric of existence. Introspection offers the author's thoughts on the fullness of life, finding hope through adversity, and the goodness that love brings to all things. Through illuminated poetry and prose, Aganah presents an odyssey of pain, pleasure, power, and potency that brings our feelings to the fore. In the misty morning, I thirst for the dew of heaven. In the wake of the sun, I seek the truth of life. In the dusk of each moment, I search to feel the fulfilment of light. In season and in reason, in existence and exit-trance, Righteousness still remains: My boots, peace, hope, and jo
