Two questions fundamental to human existence have always been metaphysical:
“Where do I fit in the grand scheme of things?”
And the ethical, “How should I behave?”
For many people, religion is no longer a source of answers, and despite a century or more of effort, nothing has really replaced it.
Geoffrey Moore uses his signature framework-based approach to tackle this challenge, taking us on an intellectual roller-coaster ride through physics, chemistry, biology, the social sciences, and the humanities. Along the way, he builds a metaphorical staircase that leads from the Big Bang to the foundations for ethical action in our daily lives.
The Infinite Staircase provides a coherent and unified platform for a full human life.
The Infinite Staircase presents metaphysics and ethics specifically crafted for the 21st century. We live in a time when extraordinary advances in science have made possible new secular explanations for how the universe came to be, and how life itself may have arisen through self-organization without divine intervention, including the emergence of consciousness and with it all that humanity values.
