A Scotian Reading of the Man of Law's Tale and the Clerk's Tale
A study of the nature of God in John Duns Scotus (d. 1306) and in Geoffrey Chaucer (d. 1400), focusing primarily on Chaucer's Man of Law's Tale and the Clerk's Tale. The study gives special attention to the limitless and free nature of God's will as developed in Scotus, and to the ways in which that understanding informs both human action and the destiny of persons in Chaucer's tales.

The full extent: An inquiry into nature and destiny
At the outset, I should say this is a book I wanted to like, primed by my existing metaphysical commitments. Botelho’s recent contribution towards a post-materialist metaphysics can be placed within a growing body of literature that commandeers modern scientific discovery against the reductionist paradigm of scientific materialism (see pp. 48-68); it proffers a conscious wholism that is contrasted with the fragmentary and piece-meal style of the scientistic approach (p. 46). This growing genre includes the likes of Rupert Sheldrake, Bernardo Kastrup, and Jeffrey Kripal, among others. In this work, following from the results of quantum theory and chiefly the Double-Slit Experiment – which shows the collapse of the wave function of electrons from their superposition upon observation and measurement – Botelho concludes that such discoveries imply the primacy of consciousness vis-à-vis the materialisation of matter, over-against scientific materialism, since the presence of mind actualises the really existing world (pp. 7-17). Quantum mechanics proposes for him a view of reality that is fundamentally idealistic and mind-dependent, implying an ultimate consciousness or mind that creates (pp. 14; 160-171, and passim). In doing so, he is intentionally arguing for a new integrative megatheory, and a larger paradigm shift that will open up new scientific and exploratory potential (pp. 39-37; 229-240), one that overcomes the stagnation of the sciences in their current configurations.

The Way to Immortality: The Theory of Human Nature and Destiny of Ge Hong, a Religious Thinker
Ge Hong, a religious thinker, has a philosophy of life that integrates Confucianism and Daoism that is reflected in his theory of human nature and destiny. It is embodied in several related concepts. First, “human nature and destiny are inherently natural”. This means that human nature and destiny are inevitable and determined. On the one hand, Ge Hong denied this concept to demonstrate the possibility of immortality; on the other hand, he accepted it in terms of whether an individual could become an immortal. This gave his thought a distinct dualist feature. Second, the “law of human nature and destiny” served as the foundation for discussing the rationality of the cultivation of immortality during the Wei and Jin Dynasties. Ge Hong also used the law to demonstrate the rationality of the way to immortality. Third, the essence of the way to immortality can be presented through the theory of human nature and destiny, which is to transform humans into immortals through certain means, known as “transforming life and destiny”.
