Matter and Aither
The man's presumptuousness considers always that the reality is only one, that accessible to his
senses, his intellection and his instrumental of investigation tools. But the things are really so?
In MatterAither the foundations of the real dualism (as philosophy of anthropic dual reality)are
exposed. The conception of a dual human reality(approximately: to live and to feel)is born on
atheistic base.
