This book is a philosophical treatise on how purpose is the sole psychological reason for the will and how the will is independent of the law of causality but nevertheless obligated to adhere to it. The author begins his exploration of purpose by examining its manifestation in animal behavior, then contrasts this primal understanding of purpose with the complex ways in which humans pursue both selfish and selfless goals and often find themselves at the intersection of the two. By looking at how nature, commerce, and society engage with our innate selfishness to drive us toward their own ends, the author reveals the profound truth that even our most egotistic impulses can ultimately serve something greater than ourselves. As a major contribution to the field of philosophy, this book provides valuable insights into the nature of purpose and its essential role in driving human behavior, both individually and collectively.
