Reasons why
Reasons Why first argues that what philosophers are really after, or at least should be after, when they seek a theory of explanation, is a theory of answers to why-questions. It then advances a thesis about what form a theory of answers to why-questions should take: a theory of answers to why-questions should say what it takes for one fact to be a reason why another fact obtains. The book's main thesis, then, is a theory of reasons why. Every reason why some event happened is either a cause, or a ground, of that event. Challenging this thesis are many examples philosophers have thought they have found of "non-causal explanations." Reasons Why uses two ideas to show that these examples are not counterexamples to the theory it defends. First is the idea that not every part of a good response to a why-question is part of an answer to that why-question. Second is the idea that not every reason why something is a reason why an event happened is itself a reason why that event happened. In the book's final chapter its theory of reasons why is extended to cover teleological answers to why-questions, and answers to why-questions that give an agent's reason for acting.
Beyond the Edge
Jesus calls his disciples to follow him, but where does he lead us? Responding to Jesus' summons, we find ourselves leaving familiar certainties and securities behind as we step out boldly in faith. Old boundaries dissolve as we are led into liminal spaces - exhilarating situations, new places of discovery and radical spiritual growth. In such experiences Christ reveals himself to us anew. The place of risk is the threshold of the divine. Beyond the Edge is for people who wish to go deeply into the spiritual life, for spiritual directors, and for those who walk with others on their prayer journey. It can be used individually or in groups.
All the Stars Beyond the Edge
Across the Andromeda Galaxy, the once-vibrant Krylos now pulsed with an unsettling luminescence, a chilling testament to a cosmic plague unleashed by reckless dimensional manipulation. Princess Elera, clutching a star-chart whispering of a legendary weapon, must escape the horrifying hive mind that has ensnared her people. Her desperate flight leads her to the *Stardust Serpent* and its enigmatic captain, Zane Rextar, a man as cold and alluring as the distant nebulae reflected in his steely gaze. He offers a perilous bargain: help him breach the fortress-station of Xylos, and he'll guide her to the weapon. Elera’s journey becomes a thrilling dance of survival and intrigue as she navigates Xylos disguised as an exotic dancer, her sharp intellect a weapon against its intricate defenses. A spark ignites between her and Zane, as sudden and intense as a solar flare, their dynamic shifting from uneasy alliance to something far more dangerous. But their burgeoning connection becomes a beacon, drawing the avarice of intergalactic syndicates and the chilling vengeance of the hive mind. Beset by saboteurs and pursued across the stars, Elera must unite a motley crew of exiles – a hulking cyborg with a poet's soul, a bioluminescent navigator yearning for untouched worlds, and a Krylan warrior torn between loyalty and the chilling whispers of the hive. Stranded near a dying star and hunted by the enigmatic Consortium, Elera must unlock the secrets of Krylan astro-engineering, her ingenuity igniting not only the ship's core but also the crew's hard-won respect. Their escape leads them to a disgraced astrophysicist who reveals a startling truth: the anomaly is not a weapon, but a cosmic wound crying out to be healed. The Consortium, however, seeks to weaponize the hive mind, its tendrils tightening across the galaxy. Within the ethereal Stellar Shroud, Elera and Zane, their bond forged in shared peril, must rally their fractured crew and forge an unlikely alliance with sentient energy beings. The final confrontation erupts in a kaleidoscope of clashing energies, psychic screams echoing through the void. Elera faces a devastating choice: obliterate the hive mind, ensuring the galaxy’s safety but dooming her people, or attempt the impossible – restore Krylos, risking the galaxy’s very soul. Driven by love and loyalty, Elera chooses the latter, her connection to the weapon amplified by a Krylan warrior wrestling with her own demons. But victory comes at a heavy price. In a desperate act of self-sacrifice, Zane shields Elera, his love a final spark against the cosmic darkness. As Krylos is reborn, Elera, grief-stricken yet resolute, must rebuild her world, forever changed by the man who loved her enough to sacrifice everything. Their love, a beacon against the infinite backdrop of the cosmos, has kindled a revolution, leaving Elera to navigate a new era, her heart echoing with the whispers of a love lost among the stars.
