..".Instead of being nice and neat and square, reality is as awkward and messy and as full of jigs and jags as the pieces of a jigsaw puzzle scattered all over the table...But as I'm crawling around on my piece or two of jigged, jagged reality, every once in awhile, I'll crawl across a piece with a straight edge..." STRAIGHT EDGES takes the reader for a philosophical walk through different pieces of our reality to follow the evidence wherever it leads. At first glance, our reality is "awkward and messy," but after closer examination, the "straight edges" of meaning, order, and purpose begin to emerge from the messiness. All of these "straight edges" are laid out in a step-by-step, highly readable fashion that will challenge your thinking whatever conclusion you come to.
