Description: What so we really think deep down? This is the question Peter J. Steinberger pursues in this book. Along the way, he announces a pox on all the houses in the God debate by shifting the question from whether God exists to an evaluation of our inability to engage in reasonable and commonsense thinking. In so doing, he models a form of systematic and rigorous philosophical argumentation that is accessible to a nonspecialist and provides a life-affirming philosophy that provdes the world as we know it cannot be all there is.
