Awareness and Being is an examination of life and the world in which that life is lived. It is also a consideration of just how much can be expected from living an "examined life." It covers a wide range of topics from consciousness and time to free will and the origin of values. Concise and powerfully written, it avoids technical terminology in favor of everyday language. Awareness and Being is a consideration of the nature of the self, the ways we come to know, and many other topics in a way that does not require a broad knowledge of philosophical traditions to understand.
