“Irreducible: Consciousness, Life, Computers, and Human Nature”

Federico’s core theories on the nature of reality

“Silicon: From the invention of the microprocessor to the new science of consciousness”

Federico’s autobiography

“Oltre L’invisible”

Federico’s latest book in Italian, merging science and spirituality

“Federico Faggin is probably the most well-rounded Idealist alive.

He embodies the near-perfect combination of hard-nosed, scientifically-informed thought with direct introspective insights into the primacy of consciousness.

This book is a true philosophical treasure and, in some ways, a culmination of Western thought; an absolute must-read.

  • Bernardo Kastrup, author of Decoding Schopenhauer's Metaphysics, and The Idea of the World

"The first part seems to me a very clear summary of the state of play within the sciences, including computer sciences.  It makes very clear the limitations of the conventional materialist point of view. The rest of the book sets out the new vision in a way that’s thought provoking."

"I am grateful to Faggin for showing up so clearly the limitations of mechanistic materialism and the need for a radically different paradigm."

  • Rupert Sheldrake, author of The Science Delusion, and Morphic Resonance

"Once we have accepted that consciousness and free will exist as fundamental properties of nature, our worldview changes irreversibly and enriches us immensely. In this new vision, the purpose and meaning of the universe, completely denied by classical physics, takes central stage. This vision is also deeply aligned with the thinking of perennial philosophy, which has always recognized the inestimable value of consciousness and knowledge.”
