First Values, First Principles2024-01-03T06:12:32-08:00

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
