The Problem of Good defines the materialist age as one in which the predominate view reduces all reality to that studied by the physical sciences. According to materialism, all reality, including thought, consists of impersonal forces that have no purpose and are neither good nor bad. This book attempts to show the reasonableness of rejecting materialism, and affirming that thought and purpose are real. Importantly, we can hope for and work for that which constitutes the Good. If there is a problem of evil leading some to reject the notion of God and purpose in the universe, there is likewise the Problem of Good, how to explain its existence, as well as the presence of purpose. This work is readable even without formal training in philosophy and invites the reader to embrace a vision of the world that embraces the good and encourages us to make a better world.

  • On the Duty of Civil Disobedience
    HENRY DAVID THOREAU
    Civil Disobedience argues that citizens should not permit their governments to overrule their consciences, and that they have a duty to avoid allowing their acquiescence to enable the government to make them the agents of injustice. Thoreau was motivated in part by his disgust with slavery and the Mexican-American War, but the sentiments he expresses here are just as pertinent ...

In a personal letter to philosopher Josiah Royce, the pragmatic philosopher Charles Pierce admitted that while his logic provided security by avoiding error, it lacked the quality of "uberty," or being life-giving. Royce developed a view that would lea...
