The Unicorn Problem: Philosophy, Faith, and the Quest for Certainty (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781534762329)

Beginning with the ancient Vedas of India to this century, what we call "The Truth" is interspersed with impassioned convictions, superstitious beliefs, inspired revelations, and intriguing, yet ultimately contradictory, versions of reality. Through parables, religious doctrines, philosophy, and the proclamations of modern science, we are offered competing narratives regarding incontrovertible truths, and consequently, Ultimate Reality. These competing epistemological traditions have necessarily implanted the ground of human knowledge with both error and uncertainty - the fertile soil in which Unicorns abound and proliferate - leaving us with solutions to life's perennial questions that must ultimately remain incomplete. The fundamental purpose of this book is to assist the reader in the recognition of these Unicorns and their sanctuaries, since it is our most adamant beliefs that determine how we live our lives, and, perhaps most importantly, define our moral outlook
