Introduction to More Christian Philosophies
This is one of my my most clear and direct books, one of what I call my
Read Second Books. It is much easier for the average person to understand, because it is not based on the Chinese philosophers whose style I have emulated and so it has obscured my meaning to the untrained. I cannot simplify the Chinese philosophies to any greater extent and still be faithful to their traditions. When you see all the allusions in my
Free Thinking Christian
collections, realize that I am almost always talking about God and my faith and the parts that seem elusive are part of a great tradition. That is why it is probably best if you read this book and the other
Read Second Books
after the
Read First Books, and before the
Free Thinking Christian
collections. This book is made up of original poetry and essay plus part of
Book of Genesis, which is the place to start in your journey through the Bible.
In my Free Thinking Christian Collections, I have presented a philosophy based on Christian Existentialism and Philosophical Taoism where the main values are humility and compassion, or in other words, kindness and seriousness.
The first part of the book, 2nd Opinion, introduces an alternative philosophy, combining Early African Christianity, Hinduism, and Stoicism where the main values are imagination and self-control. The main inspirations were the Book of Genesis, as well as: The Desert Fathers, Rabindranath Tagore, and Marcus Aurelius.
The second part of the book, 3rd Opinion, introduces another alternative philosophy, combining Theravada Buddhism, Nietzsche, and Bhakti Hinduism where the main value is hard work. The main inspirations were the Book of Genesis, as well as: The Pali Canon, Friedrich Nietzsche, and Bhakti poets of southern India.
