New Book Provides Nihilistic Study of Universe Seen Through Eyes of Scientist
Ashland, OR (PRWeb) November 24, 2006 -- In Part I of his new thought-provoking trilogy, The Happiest Beings Are Nihilists, philosopher and biochemist Dr. Mark Collins advocates "no-nonsense metaphysics" vis à vis a sophisticated study of nihilism, the most misunderstood philosophical position. The author has created a new concept of superhuman being, the product of numerous cycles of intelligent design, the supremely happy nihilistic zetosopher, to provide a novel perspective on man and a detailed coherent view of the world without god.
This book is beyond any comprehensive study. Dr. Collins has spent decades formulating not only his theories, but parallels between his ideas and those of the world's leading philosophers and scientists. The unifying principle of this book is the concept of intrinsically complex nihilism, the conjecture that the universe contains no absolute entities and exists and has always existed in a "zero sum state" of "equal and opposites" that is necessarily conserved, as from nothing comes nothing, the metaphysical basis of the conservation laws in physics. There is also an underlying message, one that urges the reader to accept nothing on faith, ask new questions, think for himself, reason through the author's positions, examine the empirical evidence, test for coherence, and then, above all, to question everything all over again, including all assumptions. As in science, to find the truth we must be both skeptical and thorough.
