Subject(s): Summary: A review in Amazon.com says: In less than 100 pages, Schaeffer distills the essences of the major modern philosophical movements into their most basic parts in the areas of metaphysics, morality, and epistemology-- the three critical factors that shape what a person believes and how they will act. He then describes the logical ends of the competing views--such as the utter hopelessness of knowledge stemming from existentialism or the whirling, self-defeating frenzy of what he calls 'linguistic analysis.' All of the systems Schaeffer examines fall apart on some point, or lead to despair or cynicism. The reason, Schaeffer points out, is all these systems exist to fill a void that is only completely and adequately filled by Christianity. Each exists not beside Christianity, but against it. Schaeffer shows the necessity of belief in a God who is not only there--existing--but not silent--he not only created the world but is constantly involved with it.<br><br> <a href=""http://www.amazon.com/He-There-Not-Silent/dp/084231413X"" rel=""nofollow"" target=""_blank"">Amazon.com about this book</a>.<br> <a href=""http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/He_Is_There_and_He_Is_Not_Silent"" rel=""nofollow"" target=""_blank"">Wikipedia about this book</a>.<br> <a href=""http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/80119.He_Is_There_and_He_Is_Not_Silent"" rel=""nofollow"" target=""_blank"">Goodreads.com about this book</a>.
