The word Amazement means a great deal more after reading E. Robert Morses ambitious philosophical exploration of that name. With Amazement as the focus, Morse takes his audience on a journey into a timeless volume which is also offered at a most timely age in the course of humankind. By balancing an investigation of modern social structures such as the contemporary family and popular culture with age-old philosophical mysteries such as free will and the meaning of life, the author is able to accomplish what has been rarely attempted in history. Morse uses three divisions, The State of Ideals, The Roots of Modernity and The Path Towards Amazement, to analyze humanitys challenges, their source and, with a ground breaking series of proofs, the nature and attainability of the solutionwhat he entitles Amazement. Generally a philosophical text, the work also offers fresh portions of the social sciences and history sure to illustrate the writers love for many facets of life, but what will be most clear to his audience after completing Amazement is that Morse has an limitless devotion to humanity, America and God.
