New issue of Spanda Journal w/my and Michel's article

The new issue is out which contains my and Michel's article "Collective enlightenment through postmetaphysical eyes." The contents are below. It is imperative that we recontextualize the notion of enlightenment, both east and west, as we move into the collaborative commons. Otherwise it could be an impediment to that transition with its literally metaphysical orientation. Not only did the western enlightenment claim dominion over the earth and hence lead us to climate change, so did the eastern enlightenment with its belief in metaphysical planes beyond this one and reincarnation. Hopefully this paper will help in that goal.
