Robert Michael Ellis

I am an independent philosopher, with a Ph.D, working on Middle Way Philosophy. This is a practically-led, multi-disciplinary approach to objectivity and judgement which challenges a set of interconnected assumptions made in both analytic and continental traditions in the West. This approach was originally inspired by the Buddha's Middle Way, but synthesises Buddhist practice with Western philosophical discussion, together with psychology, neuroscience, general systems theory, and embodied meaning. I have founded the Middle Way Society to work with others on the development and practice of Middle Way Philosophy: for more information please see http://www.middlewaysociety.org. My new Middle Way Philosophy series, currently in the process of being published by Equinox, gives a detailed and fully updated account of the approach: see my personal website robertmellis.net for up to date information about my books.
