Critique of Dualist Reason: The Platypus by Francisco de Oliveira

A Revolutionary Approach to Understanding the World

In his groundbreaking work, Critique of Dualist Reason, Francisco de Oliveira presents a revolutionary new way of understanding the world. Drawing on a wide range of disciplines, including philosophy, history, economics, and sociology, Oliveira argues that the dualistic thinking that has dominated Western thought for centuries is fundamentally flawed. This dualism, which separates the mind from the body, the individual from society, and the human from nature, has led to a profound misunderstanding of the world and our place in it.

Overcoming Dualism

Oliveira argues that the only way to overcome the limitations of dualistic thinking is to adopt a holistic approach that recognizes the interconnectedness of all things. He draws on the insights of Eastern philosophy, indigenous cultures, and feminist theory to develop a new understanding of the world that is based on unity, diversity, and interdependence.

A New Vision of Reality

Critique of Dualist Reason offers a new vision of reality that is both radical and inspiring. Oliveira's work challenges us to rethink our most basic assumptions about the world and our place in it. It is a must-read for anyone who is interested in understanding the world in a new way.
