There can be no more important inquiry than the one that begins quite simply: Why do we exist? In his thoughtful and thought-provoking deliberation on this age-old question, Dr. Manuel English reflects on the nature, causation and finality of existence, the role of God and mind in this magnificent phenomenon and the distinctions to be made between being and becoming, and between matter and mind. Using metaphysical-philosophical, cosmological, and ontological tenets, an introspective analysis is offered providing insightful answers to these mega-questions. Eschewing the narrow focus and abstruse rhetoric which causes so many readers to shun modern philosophy, Dr. English's work is striking in its concern for genuine insight and independent, original thought. His reflective commentary and conclusions are dynamic and exciting, challenging the conventional ontological landscape while offering a new paradigm of how we should think about our existence. It's destined to become a classic.
