My book -- my metaphysic -- was declined today by a leading agency. An agent judged, "Your project has considerable merit." The boss countered, "It is very difficult to place books of philosophy and metaphysics." Well, yes and no. Works which are integrative are very popular now, and this I am trying to put across. Once one puts out of one's mind descriptors such as "metaphysical" and adjusts to "intergrative", one sees such books all over -- and as bestsellers: Surfaces and Essences, The Master Algorithm, The Kemetic Tree of Life, Theories of Everything, and so on. All such books seek a kind of totality. As for metaphysics, though, it may be true to say that every metaphysic of the past three-thousand years is still in print, in a current edition.
