"I meanwhile read Gary Drescher`s book several times. I have to agree with AIGBusted that it is a highly recommendable book that profoundly changed my views (incl. solving my problems with the nature of causality, time, consciousnes and free will). To make a long story short: I withdraw my above objections (and my support for 'Process Philosophy' as metaphysics), and now agree that the completely naturalistic worldview as presented by Gary Drescher is indeed the most parsimonious and most convincing explanation for all phenomena. Drescher's metaphysic is by the way not really 'materialist' but rather corresponds to the 'mathematical universe hypothesis' and 'ultimate ensemble' of Max Tegmark."
The book under discussion is Good and Real: Demystifying Paradoxes from Physics to Ethics (A Bradford Book)

Hiya Gunter,
I was wondering if you've written anything that describes your journey from one position to the other. If you write anything on that, please let me know and post a link, I'd love to read it.
Sincerely,
Ryan
