Ken Stange's Books

Ken Stange is a writer, visual artist, occasional scientific researcher, and a university lecturer on the psychology of art. He works in many forms and likes to mix his media.  His works include poetry, fiction, arts journalism, scientific research reports, computer programs, philosophical essays, and visual art.  He calls all his books "hypotheses" because of his interest in the integration of the sciences and the arts and his belief that both art and science offer tentative hypotheses to what our existence is all about.

The following is a list of his books/hypotheses.  Each links to a page with information on how to access the book.  Some published books that are out of print are available for free online reading and downloading.
