THE GENETIC UNIVERSE explores the limitations of an invisible and silent universe and reveals details of how mind overcomes these limitations. García-González argues that objects cannot exist without mind actualizing them, and in doing so, he challenges the deepest questions in metaphysics, and philosophy of mind. Is a genetic essence needed before things can exist? In this work and its separate glossary, the author says "yes" and goes on to present, in controversial and eye-opening fashion, the profound ramifications involved therein. The notions explored in The Genetic Universe—existence and pre-existentiality, reception and perception, indirect creation and intelligent design, human development and transcendence, cognitive attribution and awareness of a mentally arranged external world—expand on how the human makeup is behind reality and beyond.
