Breakthrough In Philosophy
The ancient Greeks thought all things were made of fire, wind, water and earth. We now know this is not so, for science cracked the atom and proved matter is not ultimate. What, then, does exist in ultimate form? Is this whole world but fancy and illusion? Is there no ultimate reality? It is the purpose of Social Survival to go far beyond all other philosophers and reveal to this world the identity, number, and manner of all things in existence. This astounding book opens a whole new world of understandings that may affect the affairs of mankind even more than the atomic bomb.
