Originally published in 1970, this book is a compilation of lectures and papers delivered by Professor Findlay during the 1960s. The central theme revolves around an argument for a metaphysical Absolute, drawing inspiration from post-Hegelian Idealism. Findlay refers to the Absolute as the "Enterprise," which he believes is essential both in thought and reality. This ontological argument extends beyond previous cosmological arguments and encompasses both ancient philosophical traditions and the modern Anglo-American school of philosophy. Within the book, Findlay explores the case for a Perfect Being, a Necessary Being, and a significant departure from his previous published thoughts, he presents a case for mysticism.
