Abstract
In this book, I will attempt to prove that the greatest illusion about human knowledge that has existed from the dawn of time is the notion of the world, the ‘uni-verse’, or, as I called it, ‘the unicorn world’. The world (the unicorn world) is a wrong notion just because the human being included all different types of entities in the same framework (eventually, the same spatio-temporal framework): macroparticles (like tables, stones and planets), microparticles (photons, electrons and quarks) and waves, neuronal patterns of activation, brain, bodies and mind, mental states, the self, etc. As I will show in this book, the introduction of all these types of entities within the same ontological framework is the main mistake in the history of human thinking.
