Akin in structure to 'Devil and God - The Omega Book', the first of a succession of 'supernotational' volumes stemming from the mid-eighties, this 1986 project combines nearly 250 supernotes (or essayistic aphorisms and aphoristic notes) in its investigation of a variety of subjects, with particular reference to the relationships between materialism, naturalism, realism, and idealism in what is conceived to be an evolutionary framework. Hence the title 'From Materialism to Idealism', in which a fourfold view of history, as of the world, is systematically developed.
