About Me
I am an author and former professor now living and writing in New Jersey. Taken as a whole, my writings are answers to the the great existential questions that occur to all people in every time and place and across all cultures and nationalities. Why do I exist? What is the best way to live? What value judgements are possible in an age of moral uncertainty—and how can I be sure of them?
Aside from the origin of the universe, one of the most pressing questions facing both scientists and philosophers is what is human consciousness? To this question, I have dedicated several years of research and study, and have concluded that consciousness is a creative energy bringing order from disorder at all levels of reality: in physical matter, thus in minds, and on a macroscale, in societies and the universe. It enables individuals to reconcile the felt oppositions of self and others, desire and fear, memory and and expectation, while in the historical process, it seeks to unify nations ideologically opposed, whether democratic or socialist, into a global political order.
The result of my research is my most recent book, The Tenant in the Mind: Consciousness and Its Imperatives, of which Dr. Sultan Tarlaci, Editor of the Journal of Neurophilosophy, writes: “Christhilf presents consciousness as a universal force shaping identity, ethics, and society. Through an interdisciplinary lens—bridging psychology, philosophy, and cosmology—he invites readers to view consciousness as a shared journey binding individuals and cosmos alike. This book is inspiring exploration of what it means to be human.”
