Please note that all posters are to read and follow the rules in the Rules and Housekeeping topic of this group before posting. In violation of those rules, you have created a new subject-matter topic without moderator permission. Additionally, this book seems to be only marginally relevant to this group. It may be more appropriate in the “Philosophy” Goodreads group. If, however, you intend to show its relevance to political philosophy and/or ethics, I suggest you post it in our General Remarks about both Ethical and Political Philosophy topic. Please make this change before August 11, 2026, US Eastern Daylight Time. Whether or not you have done so by that time, I will delete the present topic and all its posts on August 11.
Thank you for your anticipated cooperation.

I am reaching out on behalf of Dr Andrew Lohrey, a philosopher, former Member of Parliament and Cabinet Minister whose life and work sits at the remarkable intersection of political power, ethical philosophy and the deepest questions of human consciousness.
His book Five Realities One Truth: The Human Condition is a work that speaks directly to the heart of what this community was created to explore.
What Is This Book About?
At its core Five Realities One Truth is a philosophical examination of reality, meaning and truth and how the way we construct meaning shapes not just our individual lives but the political and social world we inhabit together.
Dr Lohrey argues that:
Reality is not either real or unreal. It is relative to your state of mind.
Reality is born out of how we make meaning.
How we make meaning creates our state of mind.
However, truth is not relative. It is the ever-fixed, unborn majesty of wholeness.
Truth is the One in all things.
Truth is the light of nonlocal, universal consciousness.
In a world where political discourse is increasingly driven by competing versions of reality, this book asks the most urgent question of our time. What is truth, and how do we find our way back to it?
Who Is Dr Andrew Lohrey?
Dr Lohrey brings a perspective to these questions that very few philosophers can claim. He is a former Member of Parliament and Cabinet Minister in the Tasmanian House of Assembly where he also served as Speaker of the House, a PhD graduate in Communications from the University of Technology Sydney, published by the University of Michigan Press and Princeton ICRL Press, a Professional Affiliate of the Galileo Commission since 2019, and co-author of four peer reviewed papers published in the Journal of Communicative and Integrative Biology alongside Professor Bruce Boreham, former Professor of Physics.
This is a man who has lived inside the machinery of political power and emerged with a profound and rigorously argued philosophy of what truth, reality and meaning actually are. His perspective is not theoretical. It is earned.
Why This Group?
The Political Philosophy and Ethics community is dedicated to the study and discussion of the most important questions in ethical and political philosophy. Five Realities One Truth sits at the very heart of those questions. It does not offer easy answers. It offers a rigorous, deeply considered framework for understanding why we disagree about reality itself and what a genuine commitment to truth actually requires of us.
This is a book that political philosophers and ethical thinkers will find both challenging and profoundly rewarding.
Where To Find The Book
Five Realities One Truth: The Human Condition is available on Amazon, Goodreads, Kindle, Audible, Barnes and Noble and Everand.
We would be honoured to have this book discussed within this community and would welcome any questions, thoughts or reflections from members.
Please let me know if you are happy with this presentation Andrew and I will proceed with placement immediately upon your approval.
With warm regards,
Eleanor
On behalf of Dr Andrew Lohrey
