First published in 1967, The Transcendence of the Cave is the
second in a series of Gifford Lectures on philosophical issues, and
continues the themes of the first series entitled The Discipline of
the Cave. In the opening chapters, J N Findlay sketches an
ontology, an axiology and a theology which are 'phenomenological'
in the sense of Husserl, as they attempt to show that a 'firmament'
of logical and other values emerges out of the contingencies of
first order liking and interest. The synthesis of these values in
an object having many paradoxical, mystical-religious properties is
also a necessary outcome of this 'logic'. In the later chapters,
the author attempts to construct an orderly picture of other
worldly experiences and their objects based solely on the premise
that these experiences must be such as to resolve the many
philosophical surds that plague us in this life.
