Publisher Notes
In his provocative new book, philosopher Stanley Jaki offers an original and rigorous assessment of the nature of truth that boldly challenges the lack of concern for objective reality so common to philosophical discourse today. According to Jaki, every philosophy is a message, and conveying that message requires a tangible means. The first task of the philosopher's message is to fully account for the reality of the means. This book aims at unfolding the consequences of this task for the main topics of philosophy. After laying the philosophical groundwork for objective discernment, Jaki considers free will, purpose, causality, change, the mind, ethics, God, miracles, and more. An important corrective to much of the philosophical work of the day, Means to Message makes a convincing case for a realist epistemology that is fully open to metaphysics.
