Go?del: Noophelia in the Twentieth CenturyBibliography; Name Index; Untitled 330 $aAxiogenesis 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. 606 $aCosmology 606 $aTeleology 606 $aMetaphysics 615 0$aCosmology. 615 0$aTeleology. 615 0$aMetaphysics. 676 $a110 700 $aRescher$b Nicholas$050144 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910959690503321 996 $aAxiogenesis$94452969 997 $aUNINA
