Like Beyond All Appearances, which it supplements, Paul Weisss new book is a fundamental work which faces all the hard issues which are not only at the heart of philosophy but at the core of our entire culture.
Readers of Mr. Weisss phenomenology of religion will need no introduction to this new work which expands and clarifies many of the issues raised in Beyond All Appearances. However, no knowledge of Paul Weisss previous books is required to understand and appreciate this brilliant new exposition. Weisss plain style makes his ideas accessible to all intelligent readers, whether or not they have been trained as professional philosophers.
Here in First Considerations Mr. Weiss addresses himself to such topics as actuality, internalization, evidence, names, substance, being, natures and possibilities, existence, unity and the cosmosissues which have engrossed him as a moral philosopher and metaphysician throughout his distinguished career. In his progress through the ideas and issues expounded in this new book Mr. Weiss is concerned with the human condition distinctive of this species of ours. Rigorously applied, his moral philosophy is as complete and thorough as that of any of the major thinkers, and provides as complete a guide as, for example, that of Buddhism.
A highly original work, no doubt well in advance of current trends in philosophy, First Considerations will provoke further thought and discussion and will be regarded as a seminal work in modern philosophical approaches.
