We human beings have made the human world. If we dont like it, we can change it. Invisible Power is the story of an international conspiracy whose aim is to re-make the human world. They are planning a revolution, not in the streets, but in our minds. It is the story of an exceptional young man who gets involved in the conspiracy and who sees it as a possible way to pursue his own ideas and ideals. We inhabit a natural world that we share with all other living species. But the human species has a strange species-characteristic. We have the power to think and to communicate our thinking. The human world is the world we have made by thinking and talking to each other. The human world is our second habitat. Philosophy is thinking about thinking, especially thinking about the reality that we make by thinking about our two worlds, natural and human. So Invisible Power is not only the story of a conspiracy. It is also a philosophical analysis of the making of the human world that we inhabit today. It uncovers the reality behind the everyday reality that we take for granted. We can all make the effort to discover the reality-behind-the-reality. And that means that, if we want, we cal all help in the task of making a better human world. Why not? Join the conspiracy!
