Bernardo Kastrup is a philosopher, author, and researcher known for his work in metaphysics, consciousness studies, and analytic idealism. With a background in both science and philosophy, he challenges materialist assumptions about reality, arguing that consciousness is the fundamental nature of existence rather than a byproduct of the brain. His books, including Why Materialism Is Baloney and The Idea of the World, explore how idealism can provide a more coherent explanation of reality, perception, and human experience.

Kastrup’s research integrates insights from neuroscience, depth psychology, and quantum mechanics, presenting a model in which reality emerges from a unified field of consciousness. He frequently engages in public debates, interviews, and lectures, where he critiques scientific reductionism and promotes a worldview that acknowledges the primacy of mind over matter. His work has gained recognition among those interested in bridging science, philosophy, and spirituality.
