From Crisis to Crossing
AS THE META-CRISIS DEEPENS, THE FATE OF CIVILIZATION AND HUMANITY HANGS IN THE BALANCE. First Principles and First Values is the tip of the spear in the fight for a humane future. Establishing frameworks for a new school of thought called CosmoErotic Humanism, the book is built around forty-two propositions that provide new source code for the future of planetary culture. Like Europe in the early Renaissance, humanity is in a time between worlds, at a time between stories. First Principles and First Values contains blueprints for the bridge needed to cross from this world to the next.

“The position argued for in this book is of vital importance . . . it needs urgently to be read.”
"This book is remarkable. The work of a whole library of interconnected essential thought in a single introductory book... A theory of value and meaning as fundamental to our understanding of reality as the scientific method, filled with deep insights, that should at minimum inspire the reader to think more deeply about what is truly valuable, the nature of value itself, and what would be required for a mature civilization capable of safely and wisely stewarding our nearly unimaginable technological power.”
"Marc Gafni's work, together with Zak Stein and Ken Wilber, on first principles and first values - under the pen name of David J. Temple, continues their trajectory as among the truly beautiful minds and hearts of our day, who, in a before and after kind of way, are reshaping our sense of what it means to be a human being."
"The most important articulation of the New Story that I have ever seen is being done by Marc Gafni and Zak Stein, together with my longtime colleague and friend Ken Wilber, in what they are calling, Cosmo Erotic Humanism. Perhaps no one in this generation has written or taught on the eros and ethos of the next stage of evolution more profoundly than Marc and Zak is the best educational visionary we have."
"Marc Gafni, together with Zachary Stein and Ken Wilber, are creating a new discipline that they call Anthro-Ontology which brilliantly notices that the entire Cosmos lives in the individual and thus human interiors are a vital source of cosmic information. So, probing what Marc calls our clarified interiors gives us crucial valid information about ourselves and about the Cosmos that has generated us."
