Bernardo Kastrup is a computer scientist and executive director of Essentia Foundation. He holds a Ph.D in philosophy (ontology, philosophy of mind) and another in computer engineering (reconfigurable computing, artificial intelligence). As a scientist, Bernardo has worked for the European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN) and the Philips Research Laboratories. He has written several books and articles exploring metaphysical concepts, primarily advocating for idealism—the notion that reality is fundamentally mental. Kastrup's writings challenge the materialistic views predominant in modern science, arguing instead for a consciousness-centric understanding of existence. His work merges rigorous logic with deep introspection, bridging the gap between science and spirituality.
