Matthew David Segall, Ph.D., is assistant professor in the Philosophy, Cosmology, and Consciousness Program at California Institute of Integral Studies in San Francisco, CA. He is the author of Physics of the World-Soul: Whitehead's Adventure in Cosmology (2021) and Crossing the Threshold: Etheric Imagination in the Post-Kantian Process Philosophy of Schelling and Whitehead (forthcoming).

“Philosophy is a lifelong effort to transform oneself into an organ capable of apprehending the whole. This requires remaining in close dialogue with sciences, religions, politics, and the arts, always striving to understand how the partial perspectives these domains engender might hang together so as to guide and inspire wise action.”
