"An Essay toward the Other" considers the three fundamental
verities of the human experience-the True, the Good, and the
Beautiful-and presents three arguments, one from the domain of each
verity, in support of theism and in opposition to materialism. "The
True" is the way things are. "The Good" is that which contributes
to the happiness of the individual and the group. "The Beautiful"
is an indefinable quality that evokes a pleasing and enjoyable
inner experience. The verities derive from a Divine source and
point toward that Divine source, thus the opening sentence, "From
the One, three; from the three, One." While the verities are part
of the human experience, their source and their vision transcend
our realm. They are of God. The author accepts the classical view
that all human intention, however flawed and misguided, looks to a
final good. That final good we call happiness, and insofar as our
aims and ways are shaped and guided by the True, the Good, and the
Beautiful, we are drawn toward happiness.
