Triadic Embracing Richard A Burbank

With a PhD in science focused on engineering and mathematics, Burbank left academia to launch a successful business career that includes president of a multi-million dollar Asian company. Now retired, he brings broad cultural experience to the study of problematic philosophical topics essential to science, such as the reality of time and the subjective nature of truth. Triadic Embracing targets interconnected human perceptions and their contribution to objective facts. Inquiries into philosophical enigmas demand care and consistency, which are featured strengths of the book. Also included is a unique, non-reflexive propositional logic to guide consistent reasoning about topics that repeatedly elude resolution using traditional approaches. Related works include Three Term Logic, Questions About Time, and Practical Systematics. A common theme permeates each of these books: two is not enough! Whereas many unresolved problems in Western cultures are stymied by yes-or-no decisions with good-or-bad judgments, a broader general approach opens up many new possibilities.
