In Love With Eternity presents a project of philosophic thought. It is composed of a group of essays and fragments concerned with the creation of one’s self, which self is the substance of reality for every human being. The nature of philosophy, however, has become blurred by the advancement of the sciences in the past two centuries, leading to a situation where philosophers consider themselves to be scientists–many would like to wear white coats if they could. Nevertheless, philosophy is not science but is metaphysics and is the consequence of the long recognized “metaphysical need” of homo sapiens. A central concept in these essays is that of the relationship of ‘eternity’ to time; one can regard with dismay the passage of time but love one’s position in eternity. The concept of the “pointillist canvas of eternity” is presented as a new philosophical world view. Knowledge of the history of thought is essential for philosophical development and in this project, ideas of Schopenhauer, Nietzsche and Berdyaev are given special emphasis. The essay entitled “Philosophy: Rigorous Science or Intuitive Thought” asserts the primacy of the mysteriously rational, mysteriously intuitive human mind over the object world of science.
