Tim Adalin is a philosopher with a focus on the relation between participation and transformation. This focus has found form in relation to questions of metaphysics (what is, what knowing is, and what is the nature of, and our involvement with, the process of valuation). Across evolving interests in the realms of consciousness and the nature of meaning and identity, from perspectives philosophical, psychological, biological, anthropological, sociological, theological etc., this focus has graduated the recognition that the process of communication, or the transmutation of perception into expression as a generative-relational process of crafting voice, is pivotal to the realisation of desired existential realities.
