Book Description
Wait! Before you fly into that building... What is truth? Is it knowable? Can we be absolutely certain about anything? A momentous work of philosophy doesn't have to be massive and unreadable. No example of philosophy that you'll encounter will deal with Certainty and Truth more concisely and compellingly than this book, yet it does so while maintaining an engaging style that keeps the cerebral content very readable and accessible. Like previous philosophies that address Certainty and Truth, the work HAD to address the issue of God, yet unlike it's predecessors, manages to do so without any hidden assumptions. As a result, it holds confirmations of orthodox Christianity that are unprecedented. The book adopts a partially autobiographical style as it details how the hyper-rational author went from the purest form of agnosticism to fundamentalist Christianity over a span of years. Within are essays that address common misconceptions that skeptics and Christians share. There is also a miraculous quality to the account that speaks to the heart. The fact that the author is a recent stroke victim, cognitively impaired and partially paralyzed, makes it more apparent that he cannot take credit for any cleverness reflected in this book. There are things on a par with Einstein's "On The Photoelectric Effect" or "On Brownian Motion" Since the author admits to having the barest of math abilities, it's fortunate that the issues in this work do not require the same mathematical rigor to express as Einstein's remarkable understandings. Nevertheless, the assertion of novelty and momentousness for this work is appropriate. There are compelling answers to questions that people have grappled with for centuries.
