Summary: A flexible, hopeful philosophy for a new time
Comment: My letter to Werner Krieglstein regarding his breakthrough book will serve nicely as a review, and so I will reproduce it below. Anyone interested in quantum theory, consciousness, quantum animism, chaos theory, or physics needs to consider Krieglstein's recent publication as a must-read. Also, because it does helpfully outline many thoughts of traditional Western philosophy, it would be a great walk-through for any student of philosophy.
Dear Professor Krieglstein,
My name is Juliana Vazquez - I'm currently a student in your Wednesday night Philosophy 200 class. I finished reading your new book a couple weeks ago and found it to be a thought-provoking and very worthwhile journey. I particularly appreciated how readable the text was, making even complex scientific and philosophical ideas palatable and understandable to the general reader. I also enjoyed the interweaving of intensive academic research with recounts of rich personal experiences -- for example, your thoughts on Tony Robbins' seminar and different encounters you've underwent in the world of theater.
Under the category of philosophies of the "new" or "third enlightenment," I think that Transcendental Perspectivism is a viable alternative to some of the New Age concepts that are currently floating around. In contrast to the somewhat illogical, commonly contradictory, and too loosely organized theories of New Age philosophies, Transcendental Perspectivism follows more reasonable lines of thought and is outlined in a sufficiently formal fashion here on your website as well as in your recent publication.
Because I am in the process of considering a career in education, I read your chapters on the latter subject with special care and found your description of "the partnership way" to be in perfect harmony with my ideal method of instruction. Thank you for that insightful contribution to the field of education! I will be giving my presentation on education and the theory of multiple intelligences in class soon.
I also appreciated your work's continuous challenges of traditional, Western dualities -- i.e., mind vs. body, soul vs. body, reason vs. emotion, etc. Helping people truly perceive themselves, the world, and life as truly whole is an extremely important educational and personal mission to pursue.

Summary: "Compassion" Very Well Thought Out
Comment: Dr. Werner Krieglstein has put his heart and soul into his book and the it shows. "Compassion: A New Philosophy of the Other" includes thoughts which the rest of us don't simply have the time to ponder on our own, however Dr. Krieglstein not only tackles the issues, he explains in great details why things are. He leaves no stone unturned. "Compassion" is a very enjoyable read, done by a man whom is obviously very knowledgable in the field.

Summary: Compassion
Comment: This book succinctly explains how lack of emotion is affecting our world in negative and destructive ways. This book explains how compassion and cooperation gives hope for our world. One of the first steps we must take is to acknowledge that differences exist and to respect the differences even though we do not all think in the same way. We must feel comfortable with ourselves and with others even if they are different from us. This will lead to better communication which can only lead to better lives for us. Finally, we also need to realize that communication is not just between people, but also between people and the world we live in
