1. Philosophical Writing
Keir’s main personal writing interest is focused on communicating his insights into the nature of consciousness. His writing draws on a 30 year personal journey of critically directed introspection. Unlike the writings of the typical spiritual genre Keir’s work is intensely practical without the expected flights of fantasy or appeal to belief. Indeed, Keir’s scientific background (he is a Head of Physics at a very successful English 6th Form) enables him to speak authoritatively on the philosophical limitations of scientific rationalism.
His central thesis is that the individual’s inner as well as outer experience must be understood objectively and taken into account before a correct formulation of the nature of reality can be arrived at.
Keir is currently writing a series of books on this ‘science of the subjective’. In the first, Unknowing he is aiming to provide a practical how-to guide so that the individual can learn to objectively evaluating their first-person experience. In First-Person Singularity keir will outline how including the facts of one’s inner experience when considering the nature of reality takes one to the heart of questions such as the structure of the universe, the meaning of knowledge, reality, consciousness and ultimately the nature of God.
