摘要
"Cosmos or Chaos: Theodicy, Love, and Existential Choice," explores in detail the social-psychological dimensions of cosmology and the tension between the ideas of cosmos and chaos in the history of Western thought, as these are manifested in philosophy, science, "pure" reason, and religion. In the process, the author seeks to provide the foundation for a viable existentialist social ethic, drawing upon the works of Camus, Sartre, Bergson, Unamuno, Dostoevsky, and the teachings of Theravada Buddhism.
