Creativity and Common Sense
Paul Weiss is one of the two or three most original and creative philosophers and metaphysicians in America today. Creativity and Common Sense reveals why. It contains fourteen recent articles on the thought of Paul Weiss by authors who are most familiar with his writings, including an essay by Charles Hartshorne that provides a unique perspective on Weiss by one who has known him for his entire career. Weiss is shown to be one of the very few contemporary philosophers who examines every area of concern to philosophy and does so on the basis of ontological insights regarding the ultimate elements of reality. He begins his philosophical consideration with the evidences offered by the world of...

Beyond All Appearances
An internationally renowned philosopher propounds a way to advance beyond appearance to ultimate realities and a final ideal. One of philosophy s main functions is to arouse thought, to awaken and redirect. It asks others to think through, to assess, and at the same time to be flexible and steady. Author and reader must, despite the printed page, despite differences in age and experience, training and knowledge, philosophize together, writes Paul Weiss in his brilliant new book. And this is exactly what the reader will find himself doing as the eminent speculative philosopher directs his attention to that which is beyond appearancebeyond daily living and, ultimately, beyond life itself.In this perhaps richest and finest of Mr. Weiss s books, the average reader who daily confronts the various aspects of our complicated lives will find an enlivening answer to persisting fundamental questions. Mr. Weiss s searching analysis of matter and his thought-provoking answers to questions raised provide a thoroughly enlightened examination of the realities of man s inalienable rights, his identity over the course of a changing career, and his possible immortality."
First Considerations
Like "Beyond All Appearances," " "which it supplements, Paul Weiss s new book is a fundamental work which faces all the hard issues which are not only at the heart of philosophy but at the core of our entire culture. Readers of Mr. Weiss s phenomenology of religion will need no introduction to this new work which expands and clarifies many of the issues raised in "Beyond All Appearances. "However, no knowledge of Paul Weiss s previous books is required to understand and appreciate this brilliant new exposition. Weiss s plain style makes his ideas accessible to all intelligent readers, whether or not they have been trained as professional philosophers. Here in "First Considerations "Mr. Weiss...
Creative Ventures
Paul Weiss systematically maps creativity in its many manifestations--creative ventures in the arts, in mathematics and the sciences, in moral development, in social movements, and in government. A truly creative work arises from a combination of factors. Weiss argues that among these factors are two kinds of ultimates, one of which he calls the Dunamis, an absolute ground of being of sufficient complexity to warrant an appendix of its own. The other ultimate is divided into five conditions (voluminous, rational, stratifying, affiliating, and coordinating), each of which is primarily operative upon one of the five kinds of creative ventures. Weiss traces the ways these ultimates are combined with the creator's individual being and with the obdurate material at hand as the creator strives toward a creative ideal. The result is the rare, truly creative venture sustaining human existence.
