Through a series of philosophical, thought-provoking essays, Betts explores the eternal mysteries of life and meaning from various perspectives in Western Culture. In such diverse realms as music, religion, particle physics, and presidential politics, the central dynamic tensions of the Rational versus the Non-rational, and of Degeneration and Renewal, appear time and again. After a long career as a musician cum philosopher, Betts argues that these forces and many related sub forces are both fundamental to artistic expression and grounded in Existence itself.
