Alexandre A. Varbedian is the author of the EIZM (theory of essence or theory of everything).[8]
The Eizm is an essentialistic doctrine, a synthesis of ancient paganistic systems, different currents of religious, philosophical and/or classical concepts various metaphysical or esoteric schools, scientific theories, and cosmological hypotheses. With the Hegelian principle of thesis, antithesis, and synthesis, Materialism and Idealism are also coincident with each other and together, in harmony, they solve the apple of discord of all time, which is «the fundamental question of philosophy» ; Materialism as material and idealism as philosophies of immaterial states.
In other words, it is neither theism, nor atheism but simply the Eizm. Hence, if philosophy is the science of all sciences, then Eizm is the philosophy of all philosophies. Generally, it is a new perspective, a complete viewpoint of the universum. Simply put, if philosophy is merely extracted from nature and life experience, then the Eizm is extracted not only from the above-mentioned, but also from the universal acquaintance/ understanding of modern sciences and especially of cosmology.
Mr. Varbedian is nonpartisan, has two sons and two grandchildren.
