Book Release This Saturday: Crossing the Threshold
Join us for the book release discussion with Matt Segall, April 29 @ 12 pm PT / 3 pm ET.
Dear readers,
Please join me this Saturday, April 29 at 12 pm PT / 3 pm ET on Discord for Matt Segall’s book release event.

I am honored to publish Matt Segall’s book, Crossing the Threshold: Etheric Imagination in the Post-Kantian Process Philosophy of Schelling and Whitehead, as an important and new addition to Integral Imprint’s catalogue. You can get it directly from us at Revelore, or help us to give it a boost on the charts elsewhere (it’s currently #1 in “Transcendentalism Philosophy” on Amazon).
I’ll be there Saturday, helping out with facilitating the discussion. As Matt says, “we’ll be hanging out trying to build metaphysical bridges into the supersensible world.” That sounds like my kind of party. Hope that I’ll see some of you there.
"Matt Segall is one of the most interesting philosophers to emerge in recent years in the study of Whitehead, and, perhaps even more excitingly, of Schelling. Segall's integrative study of these two philosophers makes yet another contribution to the burgeoning project of revitalizing an alternative organic approach to natural science and theology. While in no sense sacrificing intellectual rigour, he moves beyond the limitations of a purely analytical approach to demonstrate the importance of embodied experience and imagination in the effort to understand the nature of the world and of ourselves."

Or Matt’s excellent chat with Rev Left radio:
A lot more is coming from Revelore this year, including the Mutation anthology and my ever-present book project Fragments of an Integral Future.
More on that next month. For now, I’ll see some of you on the call.
In gratitude,
Jeremy
PS: Check out more about Matt’s book here:
This book is a philosophical experiment in thinking, feeling, and willing beyond the transcendental threshold of Immanuel Kant's critical philosophy. It draws inspiration from the organic process philosophies of F. W. J. Schelling and A. N. Whitehead to articulate a descendental aesthetic ontology showing the way across the epistemological chasm that Kant's critiques hewed between knowledge and reality. This descendental inversion of Kantian transcendentalism aims to bridge the chasm-not by resolving the structure of reality into clear and distinct concepts-but by replanting cognition in the aesthetic processes that power it. The key to this reconnection is found in a new etheric power of imagination, which if consciously cultivated can grant the process philosopher direct experience of the cosmic creativity expressing itself in both the depths of the soul and throughout the physical world. With human knowing no longer conceived of as a transcendental onlooker but rather rooted again in cosmogenesis, the ancient hermetic maxim that we are microcosmic participants in the Life of the Whole is reaffirmed.
