The great discoveries of this century in mathematics, physics and psychology suggest a new synthesis with implications for mathematics, physics, politics and religion. That possibility is the subject of Chapter . The elaboration of this synthesis is the subject of this book. Of course, in one sense, there is nothing new here.
Evolution is subject to the mathematical laws of physics.
However it is not the structure of evolution that is the issue but the immediate experience of evolved creatures. Applying mathematics to this can allow us to get a new perspective on religious values and the creative process. That is the subject of Chapter . Reinterpreting the mathematics of the completed infinite as the mathematics of creativity not only allows us to apply this mathematics in new important ways but may also provide the key to extending the logical foundations of mathematics. Appendix is a first attempt at laying the groundwork for extending mathematics in the way suggested in Chapter .
