Rooted in the philosophical traditions of Plato and Thomas Aquinas, this work explores the essence of existence and the concept of "reality." Pieper emphasizes philosophy as a non-practical pursuit, opposing its use to support totalitarian regimes. Central to his thought is the idea of "createdness," which he views as the fundamental truth of being. His intuitive writing style, enriched with anecdotes, encourages readers to connect with their inner experiences and embrace the totality of existence, making complex ideas accessible and engaging.
