About this ebook
Moving on from my essay on the elements of matter, I consider the problem of space. It must be objective and external to man. I go over some axioms concerning mathematics and geometry prior to the analysis of space. I put forth the fundamental proof of space as an independent existence. Since C lies between objects and areas A and B, and is not a part of either, it is an independent existence with respect to objects and must be distinct in respect to adjoining spaces. I go on to lay out the distinction between existence and the relationships in and between existence and its parts, noting that relationships do not exist in and of themselves except as concepts in the mind. I note that all attributes of matter are primary, there being no secondary attributes of matter as supposed by Locke, etc. This is prefatory to my attack on idealism after the manner of Bishop Berkeley. I show the contradiction and ambiguities that Berkeley's methods create. Finally I discuss the boundary problem of space. Since space is not infinite, what riddles result from this? I mention several and propose that a number of spaces or universes may exist coexistent with the infinity of existence as a whole. Another universe may fortuitously bump up to lay out a carpet when needed. Well why not? If subatomic particles can communicate telepathically according to quantum suppositions, why not much bigger obliging universes? I revised the work on 2-21-15 to hopefully more effectively attack Bishop Berkeley's idealist notion of the material world that space and matter are in the mind only.

I write for my health and the health of the world. Often the cure rivals the disease in grief and aches. My writing career started at twelve when I attempted to write a sequel to Huckleberry Finn but never finished it. My writings have included poetry, plays, a novel, non-fiction and writing newsletters for here and there. Recently, I am dabbling into short stories. Apart from newsletters, nothing has been published in print. I bought an audio recording of one of my poems but threw it away in disgust due to an inappropriate reading by the narrator. 'Contra Pantheism...' was my first eBook. About a hundred eBooks have been published since including some books of verse, and my essays collected into five volumes, and one volume of collected poems. A few other types of literature are on my list of published works. My essays deal with fundamental questions of philosophy as well as natural philosophy (science.) On the whole, my works are as far above the writings of Plato and Aristotle as the material power of the United States is over that of Ancient Greece. I once asked myself if I had ever written anything memorable, but couldn't remember exactly what I had written. I started to check my manuscripts but stopped as it seemed the answer to the question was obvious. Gore Vidal mentioned in one of his memoirs that writers tend to forget what they write and are a bad source to ask about their works. Gore knew a lot of writers. I have not and may have been a bit hard on myself. Apart from self-improvement and maybe making a few bucks, my main goal is to bring about a golden age for mankind. Being a man, this sounds appealing. It is pointless to desist and all small measures are worth the effort. Albert Camus thought suicide the only serious philosophical question. He was a fool and died young. Suicide is a waste of time. The most important functional question is: How do I get what I want? The one question that trumps this is the ultimate question of intent: What should I want? As Goethe pointed out: Be careful what you wish for in your youth, you might get it in middle age.
