Purpose in Form: The Necessary Basis of All Ethics (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780997846454)

This book attempts the most comprehensive intellectual address to the issues of purpose in life and nihilism. The key element to discuss-rather than debating and weighing the harms and goods of life from "theory-laden" perspectives-is addressing the basic metaphysical question "Is existence infinite or finite?" The book begins with a unique approach to this question, including a defense of metaphysical reasoning as non dogmatic, relativistic, or self-fulfilling.

From this uniquely established line of reasoning, the author attempts to lay out some fundamental ethical truths which are recognized across all cultures. These points of fundamental agreement which, according to the author, we all intuitively acknowledge are the both the antidotes to nihilism and the cornerstones of ethics that must be affirmed and maintained in all doctrines-the more consciously the better.
