This book explores the question of why there is something instead
of nothing. Several responses to this question are possible, but
only some of them address the question seriously, respecting its
emotional aspects as well as its cognitive dimension. The author
carefully distinguishes those answers that are truly satisfactory,
in both respects, from those that are inadequate. It can be argued
that the existence of the world has no explanation at all, or that
there is a necessary being whose existence is self-explanatory, or
that the world exists because it has value. Each kind of response
is defensible to some degree, and it is argued that where they are
defensible, they have a common content. Incorporating aspects of
both the 'analytical' and 'continental' traditions, this book also
responds to several historical philosophers concerned with these
questions, including Plato, Leibniz, Kant and Nietzsche.
