Abstract

This book contains the whole description of the world. It presents all true scientific propositions and in fact all significant propositions that can be made. The author describes his feelings by the metaphor that if a man would write a book about Ethics which really was a book on Ethics this would with an explosion destroy all the other books in the world. He mentions an other experience strait away which he also know and which others might be aquainted with and this is what one might call the experience of feeling absolutely safe. The author believes that so far as Ethics springs from the desire to express the ultimate meaning of life, the absolute good, the absolute important it can be no science.
