Gödel: Noophelia in the Twentieth CenturyBibliography; Name Index; UntitledAxiogenesis is an innovative philosophical work that dares to answer the question of the ultimate reason is behind the world's existence and nature. Despite drawing on various strands of neo-Platonic thought, Nicholas Rescher crafts an argument for a metaphysical theory grounded in evaluative considerations that is undeniably unique. With a keen intellectualism, it defends the idea that this actual world of ours represents a possibility that is_realistically speaking_beyond the prospect of improvement.CosmologyTeleologyMetaphysicsCosmology.Teleology.Metaphysics.110Rescher Nicholas50144MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910959690503321Axiogenesis4452969UNINA
