"The Inward Morning"

Paper Summary:

The paper discusses how the author of "The Inward Morning", Henry Greenwood Bugbee, maintains that it is impossible to know anything for sure. The paper explains that rather than seeing the state of constant doubt as dangerous, Bugbee sees this as one of the blessings of the human condition. The paper looks at Bugbee's belief that the only thing that is anxiety-provoking is the false notion that there is one correct path for all people.

From the Paper:

"The Inward Morning is a philosophical text that makes a profound statement against philosophical certainty and the quest for absolute truth. It is a very appropriate work to read by people who are living today, in an age filled with many possible ways of living and many possible truths, an age that is often called the post-modern age of doubt. The availability of so many options and choices can make the modern world seem frustrating and confusing. This book suggests that confusion is not necessarily a bad thing, but a natural part of human experience. The only thing that is anxiety-provoking is the false notion that there is one correct path for all people."
