Reviews

Many today suspect that if one's worldview does not include the supernatural, then the world is a bleak place where value and meaning are merely subjective or illusory. Developing an emergentist account of value that takes the natural sciences seriously, Donald Crosby develops a religious philosophy that avoids nihilism while making sense of purpose-seeking animals like us. - Kevin Schilbrack, author of Philosophy and the Study of Religions: A Manifesto
