Synopsis

Unifying being and becoming through a rational metaphysics This book offers a coherent look at the deepest questions of existence. It examines how being, non-being, and becoming relate to each other and to the world we experience. The study argues for a synthesis of immanence and transcendence, showing how the Absolute grounds the world while remaining distinct from it. The result is a framework that can illuminate religion, philosophy, and daily life without favoring one tradition over another.

Grounded in careful argument, the text explores how evil fits into a teleological view of the world and why meliorism, rather than simple optimism or pessimism, provides a balanced outlook. It also traces the roots of social order, comparing Lucretius’s savage model with Aristotle’s political animal, and shows how a communal principle—like justice—emerges as a central force in human nature. The discussion culminates in a rational metaphysic that respects both the difference between the Absolute and the relative and the unity of being and becoming.

What you’ll experience


  • A clear map of concepts: being, non-being, and becoming, and how they interact in a unified theory.

  • An exploration of how the Absolute grounds reality while entering the world as immanent energy.

  • A disciplined look at evil, the good, and the role of meliorism in historical and religious perspectives.

  • A discussion of human nature, justice, and the social forces that shape communities and states.



Ideal for readers of philosophy and theology who want a rigorous, philosophically balanced account of how a rational metaphysic can explain the structure of reality and our place within it.
