PASCAL : HEART AND LOGIC - ALEXIS KARPOUZOS
Статья
Pascal was well acquainted with what could and could not be known through the mathematical method, the experimental method and reason itself. Through his philosophical investigations, he found that there were strict limits to what we as humans could know. For him, neither the scientific method nor reason more generally could teach individuals the meaning of life or the right way to live. Pascal also wrote about how humans tried to avoid thinking about their mortality, the extent of their ignorance and their liability to error. Yet he also believed that there was nothing more important for people to consider than their true human nature. In this reasoning, without understanding who we are, it would be difficult to understand how we ought to live.

PHILOSOPHY AND LITERATURE - ALEXIS KARPOUZOS
Статья
In Philosophy and Literature, Alexis Karpouzos embarks on a sweeping intellectual and poetic journey that bridges the timeless questions of philosophy with the evocative power of literature. This work is a profound meditation on being, beauty, interpretation, and ethics—an invitation to explore the depths of human consciousness through the twin lenses of reason and imagination. Drawing inspiration from the great minds of the 19th and 20th centuries, Karpouzos engages in a vibrant dialogue with thinkers and writers who shaped modern thought. From the existential inquiries of Søren Kierkegaard and Friedrich Nietzsche to the ontological investigations of Martin Heidegger, and the hermeneutic insights of Hans-Georg Gadamer and Paul Ricoeur, the book traces the philosophical lineage that interrogates the nature of truth, morality, and meaning. But this is not philosophy in isolation. Karpouzos brings literature into the conversation with equal reverence. He reflects on the poetic mysticism of William Blake, the moral complexity of Fyodor Dostoevsky, the symbolic depth of James Joyce, and the existential lyricism of Rainer Maria Rilke. The book also resonates with the modernist fragmentation of Virginia Woolf, the mythic consciousness of Carl Jung, and the metaphysical yearning of T.S. Eliot. These literary voices are not merely referenced—they are woven into the philosophical fabric of the text, creating a multidimensional dialogue that transcends disciplinary boundaries. Alexis Karpouzos does not offer definitive answers. Instead, he invites readers into a contemplative space where questions are cherished more than conclusions. His prose is poetic, his reasoning intuitive, and his vision deeply humanistic. This is a book for seekers—those who find solace in ambiguity, who believe that truth is not a fixed point but a horizon we move toward through dialogue, reflection, and imagination. Whether you're a philosopher, a literary scholar, or simply a curious soul drawn to the mysteries of existence, Philosophy and Literature offers a luminous guide through the labyrinth of thought and feeling. It is a celebration of the human spirit’s capacity to wonder, to create, and to connect.

UNIVERSAL CONSCIOUSNESS - ALEXIS KARPOUZOS
Статья
Presents a revolutionary new paradigm of Cosmic Thought that bridges the divide between science and spirituality. Discloses the ramifications of non-localized consciousness and how the physical world and spiritual experience are two aspects of the same Cosmos. What scientists are now finding at the outermost frontiers of every field is overturning all the basic premises concerning the nature of matter and reality. The central teaching of mysticism is that Everything is One, whereas from the side of rationalism the universe is Multiple. The essence of the mystical tradition is not a particular philosophical system, but the simple realization that the soul of any individual/existence is identified with the Absolute. A special feature of the mysticism is the elimination of discriminations, i.e. the One and the Multiple are identical.On the other hand, in rationalism the One and the Multiple differ substantially. Mysticism aims at the Emptiness of Zero, whereas rationalism aims at the identification with the Infinite of Everything. Based on the ontology resulting from modern physics the One is also the Multiple and the Multiplicity is also a Module, also the Void and the Everything are complementary aspects of a single and indivisible reality. This means that mysticism and rationalism are the two sides of a Cosmic Thought, which isexpressed through consciousness. We could say that this consciousness is the rhythm that coordinates any opposite.
