This book reveals a phenomenological metaphysics, which places it at the cutting edge of contemporary work on phenomenology. It addresses the crisis of world that is all around us as the meaning structures relating to self, nature and divinity all seem to be undermined politically and socially within the current reality of climatic, geo-political and ideology turmoil. In addressing these issues, this text argues for a renewed understanding of reason as a fidelity to world understood as faithfulness to the being and value of self, nature and divinity.
