Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book addresses the great questions of morality, God, and immortality through the lens of pleasure and pain. The author argues that the universe is interpreted very differently by human beings using the powers of feeling from what it is by those using only the powers of perceiving. The book posits that the ideal moral object is the perfect, eternal bliss of all possible feeling beings, and explores the implications of this belief. The author presents their own analysis of the altruistic act and examines the complex relationship between pleasure, pain, and the will. They challenge traditional arguments on free will and propose a new understanding of the mysterious power that governs our actions and feelings. By examining the nature of consciousness, the author suggests that our true selves may be unknown to our ordinary consciousness, and that the essence of the entire universe may be feeling. This book sets forth a groundbreaking new system of thought that will be of great interest to philosophers, theologians, and anyone seeking a deeper understanding of the human condition.
