Review
“A long-overdue comprehensive and scientifically grounded Global Educational Program. This is likely to lead to a revolution in education at every level … and presented in an engaging Star Wars format! A major achievement!”
—RICHARD CURTIS, Educator and Counselor, N.Y.C. Public Education

“In this book, Dr. Foldes takes his previous work to a higher level and makes it accessible to a wider audience. The Handbook may well prove to be of central importance in solving some of our most corrosive problems. Foldes grounds ‘global education’ in the philosophical Science (Wissenschaft) of Hegel and other idealists and shows its application to bothersome issues in politics, religion, personal relations, health and business. A tour de force.”
—JOHN LACHS, Centennial Professor of Philosophy, Vanderbilt University

"An eye-opener and wake-up call for this generation. Absolute Knowledge, Hegel, the End of History--these are things that everyone should know about. I was very impressed with the ideas in this book and their importance for the healing of our troubled world."
—AGNES LASETCHUK, LCSW, psychotherapist and Interfaith Minister

"Though professing to be only a 'guide', the principles of holistic medicine, healing, and true health brilliantly developed in this book are superior by far to any I have come across in the past thirty years of my practice. There is no area in health and the healing arts and sciences that will remain unaffected ... this Handbook provides a window into how all body and mind healing will be done in the future."
—KEN YOUNG, M.D., CEO and founder of The Forever Young Clinic

"Both engaging and erudite, both accessible and challenging, this Handbook appeals to scientific and to New Age communities alike in order to make the case that Hegel's philosophical Science is not only relevant but is indeed essential for the genuine healing of our planet."
—MICHAEL BAUR, Associate Professor of Philosophy, Fordham University

“‘The Force permeates all things and binds all things together.’ In its essence, The Jedi Handbook is nothing but the endeavor to explicate this claim in philosophic/scientific terms, showing how its expansion can be used to change or ‘Balance’ our institutions so as to positively affect the health of our planet and realize what is called the ‘amazing Jedi Order.’ The Handbook explicates this claim via the esoteric dimensions of all the great world religions, the most recent achievements of the physical sciences and, most importantly, the philosophical achievement of what is here called the ‘A-Team,’ namely the four idealists—Kant, Fichte, Schelling, and especially Hegel. The key concept that expresses this power of the Force is then best summarized in Hegel’s famous dictum that ‘Substance is Subject’ (or Consciousness)—to know and to understand this truth is the mark of a realized or fully enlightened Jedi.”
—ALEX DELFINI, Professor of Philosophy, Iona College

“The Jedi Handbook is an exceptional achievement. It offers us an extraordinary and daring spirituality in which consciousness of self and consciousness of the infinite are one.”
—RACHEL RUDANSKY, LMT, Holistic Healer

“The Jedi Handbook is an intellectual tour de force. As with the Hegelian philosophy which it both teaches and advocates, both its form of explication and philosophical content blend together in a synthesis which, like the Poetics of another great philosopher, Aristotle, offers a high minded and therapeutic medicine that is certain to contribute to the purging of our most potent ills. There is an old joke that defines a generalist as one whose knowledge is a mile wide and an inch deep, and a specialist as one whose knowledge is a mile deep, but only an inch wide. Like a true Hegelian, Dr. Foldes masterfully integrates these opposing threads and leads each reader to that secret lair where the pearl of great price, true wisdom, resides.”
—GLENN STATILE, Professor of Philosophy, St. John’s University

From the Author
Praise for Hegel and The Solution to Our Postmodern World Crisis: From Nihilism to Kingdom Come, by Ken Foldes

"If there are any doubts about the relevance of Hegel and German Idealism to the problems we face today, this book puts them to rest. Dr. Foldes offers a bold and coherent understanding of what ails us and where to look for a remedy."
--JOHN LACHS, Centennial Professor of Philosophy, Vanderbilt University

"Dr. Foldes has written an extremely provocative work on Hegel, cogently arguing that it is only through his singular achievement that we have a way of combating the nihilism pervading our intellectual and cultural life, showing that nihilism is a necessary phase we must pass through to realize the full meaning of redemption. This is a welcome work at a time when religious "revivalism" appears to ineffectively seek a resolution of our modern spiritual crisis, by returning to a past mode and failing to confront the challenges of postmodernity."
--ALEX DELFINI, Professor of Philosophy, Iona College

Excerpts of the Hegel-Studien (vol. 41) Review by GIACOMO RINALDI, Professor of Philosophy, University of Urbino:

"This volume is articulated into an "Introductory Essay", three main Parts and a "Concluding Essay". In the introductory essay ("The Solution to Our Postmodern World Crisis") the author outlines the unifying philosophical topic developed in the essays that follow, which consists in the attempt to understand in the light and the form of the "concept" (i.e., of speculative thought) the essence of, and the grounds for, the "nihilism" pervading the consciousness and praxis of the "postmodern world" - namely, of the Contemporary Age - and moreover to put forward a theoretical and practical overcoming of it based on a reappropriation of the fundamental epistemological and metaphysical conceptions originally worked out by modern philosophical Rationalism (Descartes, Spinoza, Leibniz), and then fully developed by German Idealism (Kant, Fichte, Schelling) and especially by Hegel's system. In the five essays collected in Part I ("Hegel, Postmodernity, and God") the author discusses some well-known theses by Fichte, Schelling, Hegel and Nietzsche concerning those topics of the philosophy of history, of politics, and of religion, which are more closely connected with his attempt to understand and solve the crisis of the postmodern world. Part II ("Hegel's System of Science") consists of six essays (certainly the best of the volume), which analyse with subtle logical perspicacity and admirable speculative vigor the crucial theoretical kernels of Hegel's system (i.e., Logic, Phenomenology, Philosophy of nature, and Philosophy of history). In Part III ("Before and After Hegel"), finally, we find five essays devoted, respectively, to the vindication of a consistent idealistic interpretation of Kant's epistemology (in polemic against the opposite readings by P. F. Strawson, H. E. Allison, etc.), to a close and convincing critique of Kant's moral theology, to the analysis of the logical structure of the 1794 Doctrine of Science, and finally to the discussion of a crucial epistemological problem raised, but never satisfactorily solved, by today's logical empiricism and pragmatism, that of the conditions for the possible reference of scientific concepts to the (alleged) objective reality of the external world. The concluding essay ("Manifesto of The New World Order") betrays only in its Preface the historical occasion that prompted its composition - namely, the enthusiasm aroused in the western world by the news of the fall of the Berlin wall in 1989. What it actually offers to its readers is, rather, a compact reconstruction of the development of the fundamental epistemological problem of the thought-being relationship in the history of modern philosophy, culminating in a careful analysis of the solution worked out by Hegel, whose substantial validity and up-to-dateness the author intends to repropose today, on a series of grounds he lucidly expounds in the introductory essay... The author consequently polemicizes against the opposite "anti-metaphysical" Hegel interpretations upheld by R. D. Winfield and W. Maker, yet it radically differs from all previous metaphysical systems because it is grounded on a principle - that of the Absolute Idea - which can be proved through logically close and indisputable arguments, thus warranting the objective validity of all determinate categories that can be deductively drawn from its concept...

The most original, and in many regards stimulating, aspect of the author's interpretation of Hegel is the solution put forward by him to the problem of the "end of history" (and of the history of philosophy), which is currently much debated in the U.S.A. after the success of Fukuyama's book. Sharply distancing himself from the communis opinio generally shared by today's Hegel scholars (from V. Hösle and H.-P. Kainz to C. Taylor, T. Rockmore and P.T. Grier), he emphasizes the fact that a) there are not only historical-factual, but also theoretical-systematic reasons for maintaining that the history of philosophy has ended with Hegel; b) since philosophy is nothing but the adequate self-consciousness of historical reality, from the idealistic principle of the identity of thought and being, it necessarily follows that the very world-history has come to its completion in the Contemporary Age, in correspondence with the historical formation of Hegel's philosophy; and c) contrary to what is generally held by contemporary anti-metaphysical thought, such a completion by no means amounts to the dissolution of Western metaphysics (and of the civilization founded on it), but rather to the affirmation of its full and definitive validity, and to the consequent opening of a new historical epoch - that of the "postmodern world"... The theory of the end of history (in Hegel's System) provides the author with the leading thread also for a striking interpretation of the meaning of contemporary history, and of the peculiar task, both theoretical and practical, assigned in it to philosophy. The Postmodern Age first of all presents itself in a negative form, namely as "negative postmodernity", because the overcoming of the religious Vorstellungen (i.e., myths and dogmas) in and by speculative thought inevitably appears to non-philosophical consciousness as the mere negation of God's reality, and then of the meaning of history and human existence rendered possible by it. Negative postmodernity, then, is in the first place the epoch of explicit and self-conscious nihilism: axiological relativism, existentialistic pessimism, the ingenuous faith in the truth of the positive sciences, and the uncritical cult of technology, are nothing but its particular manifestations. Yet the immediate negativity of the postmodern epoch can and must be overcome, in the subsequent phase of "positive postmodernity", by a reappropriation of Hegel's system that should promote its diffusion on a global scale.

The essays collected in this volume have the merit of sketching with undeniable theoretical vigor and eloquent persuasiveness the main lines of an interpretation, which appears adequate and convincing, of modern and contemporary philosophy in general, and of Hegel's philosophy in particular. Its reading is by all means a "must" for all those who are interested in the problems of idealistic thought, and who, moreover, hold that neither the dead theological schemes of the Right, nor the abstractly humanistic ones of the Left, have truly succeeded in understanding and unfolding the innermost meaning and value of Hegel's philosophy."

From the Inside Flap
"Stream of Consciousness (Wed. 4am)" Bio: Part One; Message: Part Two

Part One

I was born and grew up in New York City. My early interests were art and music. I started with pastels (a beautiful word) and watercolors at the age of 5, and attempted oils only much later--I never was able to master the medium; of all my efforts the portrait I did of Joni Mitchell, which I gave her at her 1974 Nassau Coliseum concert, pleased me the most. When I was 8, I took piano lessons, with my sister and brother, from a Mr. Lukes, a very kind and warm person ... I rebelled though, he wanted me to play the old exercise tunes, like "The Spinning Song," while I insisted on playing the popular tunes, such as ABC's "Zorro" theme song, "Out of the night when the full moon is bright ...," Zorro was one of my early heroes, along with Flash Gordon (I think I also had a crush on Ginger Rogers) and Davy Crockett, "King of the wild frontier,"--I was "Zorro" on many Halloween's after (as I'm sure Adele Feinberg would attest; she lived across the street, my first playmate; we used to play "sleeping beauty" (and "statues") on the front lawn, which would light up the face of her invalid grandma who always sat by and looked out from the kitchen window). I attended the High School of Art and Design when J.B. Kenny was principal, my first exposure to the "big city" and wider "Broadway Boogie Woogie" world of Manhattan, an experience I treasure. There I took up the saxophone and even made the dance band, whose signature song was "Tuesday Mornings at 7 AM," written by my music teacher, William Shine, a really great guy, intensely dedicated. At the time my friends and I, Ken Gorsuch, Rich Carlan, Terry Fox, Leslie Kahan, etc, used to sing "doo wop" and four-part harmony on the street corners (and in the school bathrooms, fantastic echo ...), and we formed several groups, "The I.D.'s," "The Monacos," then later, a group called "The Brats," named after the "Rascals," with electric guitars, Hagstrom, drums, the whole enchilada, Dave Gordon myself and Jeff Siegel from Wantagh LI, were front men, we even cut a few "demo" records, "Angels Divine" and "Stand By Me" (Steve Brodsky sang lead--he had a great soul, soft). The highpoint was when we sang alongside The Duprees--they did an amazingly beautiful rendition of "Exodus"--and Smokey Robinson and the Miracles (I recall the crowd booed us off the stage, they wanted "Smokey"!). Then when the British Invasion and the Beatles burst on the scene, and Doo Wop began to fade, I took up the piano again, and also the guitar. I should say the Beatles, especially John Lennon and Paul McCartney, and what they represented--the vanguard, the new higher spirit that was breaking in upon the world, inaugurating the great shift in History from "negative" to "positive" Postmodernity, leading to Omega, First Foundation, and The Jedi Order (read my books for more)--had the most profound effect on my life and sense for the incredible possibilities that lay within Reality, I was infected with an optimism that has never left me, etc. Then I got in to Cooper Union and studied closely with Richard Meier, one of the greatest architects of our time--perhaps of all time. In my third year two amazing life-changing things happened. First, I fell into a deep depression--OK, sometimes the optimism left me, but it always returned!--after immersing myself in William Barrett's, "The Irrational Man"--which at that time had an "Edvard Munch-like" photo of one of Giacometti's sculptures on its cerulean blue cover--for Mr. Middleton's English Lit class, it was on Existentialism--my first exposure to "philosophy"--which taught that existence is totally meaningless, No God, no absolutes, death is the end of everything (no heaven, reincarnation), and forget the idea of becoming "immortal" through your children, for they will be dead and non-existent as well. I wasn't religious growing up, etc, but after that book any trace of belief in God was effectively deleted. For three months I was in a state of virtual paralysis, Why do anything, I reasoned, Why put food in a body that down the road was to be 6-feet under and worm-food, etc. People would not be smiling if they were to think of their death, I saw that most people simply keep that thought out of their consciousness, etc, in any case, what helped me out of it was a kind of "primitive" belief in the (this will sound strange) "goodness" of the sun, which seemed to me to be always "smiling" no matter what (there must be a justification, a Reason, for its joy ... what Nietzsche notes in Zarathustra's prologue), etc. Second, I had a "revelation" of a deep Truth one night while working at my drafting table in my basement (I was designing a library by the Court House on the Grand Concourse in the Bronx ..., my friend Paul Amatuzzo was at the time doing an office complex across the street) ..., on a whim, I measured, against my trusty 30-60-90º and 45-45-90º triangles, the angles that the various joints on my fingers made--to my amazement there was a perfect correspondence! I saw that there was Reason, Order, Law, Necessity in organic matter, in all things; this was Plato's and Leibniz' principle of "sufficient reason," i.e. there is a reason for everything being the way it is and not otherwise; I then hit upon what I was to call "Organic Geometry," by which one can understand the inner principles ruling organic form, light and space, I recall I shared these ideas, in part, with Meier, etc... The next year I found myself in Queens College, studying Philosophy in the Social Sciences building (later, "Powdermaker Hall"). [I have to wrap this up, unfortunately ...] It was there I had the good fortune to have as my teacher, John J. McDermott, who profoundly impressed me with the encyclopedic scope of his mind and philosophic acumen, a genius of the highest order, definitely the greatest, most inspiring teacher I ever had, everyone on campus wanted to "overtally" into his famous "Philosophy 10 Aesthetics Course" each semester (it took me two years before I could get in! - though I did audit it). That same year I also met Alan Watts--and read all of his books--who I also regarded as one of my "gurus," indeed he was one of the three "high priests" of the counter-culture and the Revolution in Consciousness that was underway, which began in SF earlier, with Kerouac and the "Beats" (the true origin of the "Beat-les" name; it has nothing to do with "flaming pies" etc!)--"beat" of course refers to pulse or heart-beat, that of the World Spirit, humanity as a single Being, the "counter" beat of the new spirit that was to turn the world upside down and inside out, preparing us for the "final Act" of History, that of Foundation, Elohim, and The Jedi Order (read my books), etc, etc. (Continued on "From the Back Cover")
