I was first introduced to The Universe Next Door by one of my college professors, Ivan Spencer. In Dr. Spencers History of Ideas classes our main work was reading and analyzing primary sources in Western Thought (think: Plato, Dante, Karl Marx etc.) We read the works of these thinkers aiming to understand how they would answer the following seven questions:
- What is prime reality? (What’s really real?)
- What is the nature of external reality?
