Rational Idealism presents a comprehensive philosophical theory that is both rational and beautiful, that reveals the common ground of realism and idealism, and that can explain the rational patterns in our emotions, desires and attitudes. From the unique theoretical arguments of Why God Can't Exist to the practical advice of Intelligent Desiring, the sixteen essays explain our emotions, our pursuit of happiness, the purpose of life, why we think life should be just and why no one, not even God, can be omniscient.

Rational Idealism asks why we have been assuming that life is an eternal autocracy, or an eternal oligarchy, or maybe even a temporary mistake, when the evidence indicates that life is an eternal democracy.
