The core of CosmoErotic Humanism is a set of First Principles and First Values, from which a New Story of Value and humanity’s place in the Universe can be told. These First Principles and First Values are expressed at every level of evolution and move through each human as the core feature of our identities and relationships.

Obviously, there is some overlap between our different topics. While we are displaying some of our content under more than one of the topics, most of the times, we decided to put the different papers, videos, and audios under one topic only, so you have a unique experience on each of our topics pages. In order to get a full sense of the topic you are most interested in, we invite you to explore the other topics as well.

Our new book can be pre-ordered from the US and Canada (we are working on creating direct ordering from Europe and other countries – please stand by!):

FIRST PRINCIPLES AND FIRST VALUES

Forty-Two Propositions on CosmoErotic Humanism, the Meta-Crisis, and the World to Come

by David J. Temple

AS THE META-CRISIS DEEPENS, THE FATE OF CIVILIZATION AND HUMANITY HANGS IN THE BALANCE.

First Principles and First Values is the tip of the spear in the fight for a humane future. Establishing frameworks for a new school of thought called CosmoErotic Humanism, the book is built around forty-two propositions that provide new source code for the future of planetary culture.

Like Europe in the early Renaissance, humanity is in a time between worlds, at a time between stories. First Principles and First Values contains blueprints for the bridge needed to cross from this world to the next.

“The position argued for in this book is of vital importance . . . it needs urgently to be read.”
IAIN McGILCHRIST, author of The Master and His Emissary

A worldview is only as good as the means it has to validate the claims it makes about what is good, true, and beautiful. Anthro-Ontology is the methodology of CosmoErotic Humanism. Grounded in the great traditions and refined through engagement with modern philosophy and science, Anthro-Ontology works as a refinement of the human mind’s evolved capacities to know. Ultimately, the claims made by CosmoErotic Humanism are the result of repeatable, reflective social processes, as used by humans for decades or centuries – and sometimes millennia, for exploring the deepest truths of the Cosmos.

Part of the New Universe Story that can be told today is a new story about what the future of evolution has in store for humanity. Foreshadowed in all the wisdom traditions is an image of humanity fully expressing the plotlines of the universe, manifesting beyond ego as expression of Evolutionary Love in Action. This is Homo amor, the New Human and the New Humanity, emerging from the final crises of Homo sapiens, and ushering in the next stage of evolution.

Modernity told a story about the universe as a material clockwork that has been discredited. Science and philosophy have moved past the meaningless and reductive universe stories that have dominated the public culture during the last century. A New Universe Story can now be told – and telling it is one of the task of CosmoErotic Humanism – integrating advanced science with new readings from the depths of religious cosmologies.

We live in a time of tremendous social and political upheaval, and CosmoErotic Humanism attempts to address these issues at their root. The political implications of New Stories of Universe, Identity, Power, and Eros are profound. The global threat of existential risk must be addressed at the level of cultural and religious innovation. This is part of the task of the Center of World Philosophy and Religion.

The processes of psychological growth and healing, as well as the processes of intergenerational transmission and learning, are essential to the work that humanity must undertake today. CosmoErotic Humanism offers frameworks in both psychology and education, which seek to change the sense of what is possible in these realms.
