Observations About My Book

Some observations about my book, now that it is getting out:

• Many have said, “A metaphysics is too difficult for me.” However, most philosophies are more difficult than this. At sentence level, my book is written for Grade 10 (says computer analysis). As a whole, let’s say that school leavers will “get it”.

• My book has come under attack for being postmodern. But modernists, in fact, have the larger problem. Just open the front door, and one sees the disastrous effects of modernism (a bronze sky today, outside my door).

• I myself have come under attack from religionists. It's important to note here that my book provides a framework for faith, which most metaphysics do not. At the same time, though, I seek not to cross the line between philosophy and theology.

The significance of my book is that it is the first metaphysics—the first total, integrated philosophy—in a very long time. There is another currently in production, in German (Neues System), but no new book that is as sweeping as this.
