The Laws of Being - Tapa blanda

Sinopsis

One thing cannot be argued away: I am, and I know I am. The Laws of Being begins there — on the single fact no one can deny without using it to deny it — and builds outward, one law at a time, the way a lawyer builds a case.

Fifteen laws, each resting on the one before it, each asked to hold. They move through what being is: one, without edge or parts, the first of all things. Through how being moves: it cannot make nothing, it expresses itself by imagining, it takes the form of whatever it holds itself to be. And through how being appears to itself as an entire world.

Every law is built toward one question — what is man — and the answer the argument forces is this: you are the image of being. A son carrying its nature. The reflection of its glory the way a face carries the light shining on it. Not a being you climbed up to reach, but the being you came down from.

The smallness you feel was never a limit on the nature. Only on how much of it you have woken up to.

Reasoned from the ground up and written in plain language, The Laws of Being lays the whole case in front of you and asks one thing: follow it, and see whether it holds.
