Readers who desire to judge the philosophy's practical value may prefer to skip ahead to Chapter 18 . Metaphysics by Default offers ready aid to the beleaguered ethicist or ecologist, and Chapter 18 explores this potential utility. Readers who wonder at the inclusion of so much history in a modern work should hazard first the dedication of Chapter 19 . The dedication invokes qualities of Hellenic spirit which are lost to us, and which this modern essay perforce recovers.
