Synopsis

Unlock the core questions of existence, time, and self with a bold, thought‑provoking guide.

This edition presents a sweeping inquiry into how ideas of evolution, consciousness, and personality shape our understanding of reality. It challenges common scientific assumptions and offers a pragmatic path that ties reason to what we know and what we can know about being itself. The book invites readers to weigh the limits of sense and the power of reason in forming a comprehensive view of the universe.

  • See how the author juxtaposes inorganic, vegetable, and higher existence to explain knowledge and awareness.
  • Learn why the idea of absolute unity, space, and time matters in thinking about existence.
  • Explore the difference between experience and reason, and why both matter for science and philosophy.
  • Understand how a rational solution of existence can align with religious and moral questions.
Ideal for readers of philosophy, theology, and the history of ideas who want a rigorous, accessible discussion about how we think about being and becoming.
