Dara's Non-Fiction

What is the True Nature of Reality?

This volume contains ten essays written over two decades, exploring different aspects of Subjective Reality and connection to the Deep Self.  Join philosopher, ethicist and educator, Dr. Dara Fogel for a mind-bending yet approachable adventure through the theoretical, historical and experiential underpinnings of the Nature of Personal Identity and Experience. Some of this material has been previously published online at this website, but much has never been published or made publically available until now.  

 The true nature of reality is a question that every thinking person has grappled with at some point in their life.  Subjective Reality - Are You In or Out? seeks answers to the perennial existential questions of “Who am I?” “Why am I here?” “What is Real, and how can I know for sure?” Fogel draws inspiration from a wide array of sources both ancient and modern, from Plato to Jung to the bizarre extremes of quantum physics in her attempts to articulate the ineffable.
