"There
are more things in heaven and earth, Horatio, than are dreamt of in
your philosophy." ― Hamlet
After
William Shakespeare's Horatio sees the ghost of Hamlet's father, and
scarcely believes his own eyes, Hamlet tells him that there is more
to reality than he can know or imagine, including ghosts.
Hamlet's
statement suggests that the walls of the material world, which we
perceive with our senses and analyze with our intellects, have doors
that open into the More beyond them. Philosopher Peter Kreeft
explains in this book that the More includes "The Absolute Good,
Platonic Forms, God, gods, angels, spirits, ghosts, souls, Brahman,
Rta (the Hindu ontological basis for cosmological karma), Nirvana,
Tao, 'the will of Heaven', The Meaning of It All, Something that
deserves a capital letter."
With
razor-sharp reasoning and irrepressible joy, Kreeft helps us to find
the doors in the walls of the world. Drawing on history, physical
science, psychology, religion, philosophy, literature, and art, he
invites us to welcome what lies on the other side of these doors, and
to begin living the life of Heaven in the here and now.
