Description
Diaphysics sets forth a theory that there are physical laws running through the different levels of reality, and which cause new levels of complexity to emerge. These laws are present in atoms, molecules, cells, and brains. They created the universe as we know it: a world that is self-organizing, paradoxical, evolving, emerging, and beautiful. Diaphysics begins with the simplest form of knowledge-mathematics-and ends with speculation on where emergence is taking us or, perhaps, has already taken us. Interdisciplinary in scope, topics as diverse as physics, chemistry, biology, sociology, culture, philosophy, as well as the arts and literature, are shown to have a deep universality in their expression of diaphysical laws.

Reviews
Diaphysics is an insightful synthesis by an original thinker. Creative and provocative, it affords an integrated perspective on the nature of matter, man, and mind. -- Lou Marinoff, Professor of Philosophy, The City College of New York
Diaphysics is a stimulating book. Even if one does not agree with all the author's views, he/she must acknowledge that there are not many books as synthesizing as this. -- Herve Barreau, honorary director of research at CNRS and member of the Academie Internationale de Philosophie des Sciences (AIPS)
Camplin's bold and provocative reinterpretations of science are based on sound and clear understanding of cutting-edge research. A great scourge of the conventional wisdom, he is also a thinker with a remarkably hopeful and positive vision of the world. He is always exciting to read, because he enters into a dialog both with the world and with the reader. -- Frederick Turner, author of The Culture of Hope and Natural Religion
