Exactphilosophy.net 2020 Alain Stalder

The website exactphilosophy.net in 2020 as a book. All web pages and articles in a single printed volume. A real treasure trove for anyone with a mind free enough to "think outside the tesseract" about close to anything. Written by a Swiss physicist, it contains lots of beautiful novel ideas, inspired by nature and physics, ancient and modern philosophy, as well as by astrology, the I Ching, pataphysics and modern art, and so much more... At the core is maybe a novel approach to "elements", defined from first principles related to space and time in immediate perception, inspired by Kant, and which often goes way beyond ancient views on "elements", revealing also how things like astrology or telepathy could work in ways trivially compatible with science. Too much to summarize here, got to read it...
