”The view that metaphysics is incomprehensible and not worth studying is as common in the academic and scientific community as it is elsewhere. I want to persuade you that this view is mistaken. I believe that most people would be able to make sufficient sense of metaphysics that the study of it would be beneficial to their lives, just as long as they study mysticism at the same time. Only then can the issues be simplified and metaphysics made widely accessible and largely comprehensible.” PGJ
In Pursuit of the Inconceivable is an accessible and compelling exploration of fundamental questions about existence, reality and the meaning of life that challenges the traditional pessimism of Western thought. It presents the evidence for a systematic, comprehensible and fundamental world-theory and places the reader in a position to judge its merits and plausibility for themselves.
Peter Guy Jones explains the ongoing failure of Western philosophers to comprehend metaphysics as an inevitable consequence of not engaging with the world-theory endorsed by the writers of the Indian Upanishads, the Buddha, Lao Tzu, Meister Eckhart and, many would say, Jesus and Muhammad.
In Pursuit of the Inconceivable presents a philosophical explanation of mysticism, an apology for Abrahamic religion, a solution for all metaphysical problems and an appeal for a significant change of attitude in the academic and scientific community.
In Pursuit of the Inconceivable is published by Essentia Books with a release date of September 2025.
“Peter Guy Jones succeeds in cutting through the ambiguities, the precarious analogies, the subtle symbolisms, and the rampant prejudices, to lay down clearly, in a logically coherent manner, the core points of spirituality and how it describes reality, not an abstract otherworld.”
Bernardo Kastrup, founder of Essentia Foundation, bestselling author of The Idea of the World
“It’s rare to find a philosophical discourse that balances depth with accessibility so well. Peter Guy Jones’ approach to uncovering the nature of reality is both refreshing and thought-provoking, presenting philosophical ideas in a way that is accessible even to those without direct mystical or spiritual experience. This is no small feat.”
