Sum Total of Human Happiness

"This is a book on the truth of things, including the truth found in things that are wrong or even evil, the "alternative world." But it is primarily a book about the many things that are, the infinity of particular things, as well as the highest things, both of which come to us primarily by gift and superabundance. The wonder, indeed the amazement, of our existence is not that there is so little, but so much. And it is intrinsic to this "so much" that, through our minds and our experience, we are open to these things that are not ourselves. The mind is capax omnium, capable of knowing all things."--BOOK JACKET.
