1. An Inquiry Into The Good
"An Inquiry into the Good" explores the philosophical concept of 'good' through an examination of reality and experience. The author integrates Western philosophical approaches with Eastern thought, particularly Zen Buddhism, to delve into topics such as pure experience, intuition, and the unity of consciousness. The work seeks to establish a foundation for understanding reality that transcends traditional dualities such as subject-object and ideal-real, proposing instead a notion of reality that is dynamic and continuously self-creating. This philosophical inquiry aims to articulate a comprehensive worldview that harmonizes ethical, metaphysical, and epistemological perspectives.
