- W4387024543 abstract "The riddle of existence is approached through an analysis of the meaning and existential significance of the question, “Why is there something rather than nothing?” It is argued that this question asks for both a _reason_ and a _cause_ for existence and must (as Plato suggested) involve an appeal to something “beyond existence.” It is further argued that values are objective and (like logic and mathematics) pre-exist the cosmos. It is then demonstrated that values are the only “beyond-existent” that can provide _both a reason and cause for existence_. The author thus suggests that a “quest” for value gives rise to all existence, and that this quest is both linguistically and existentially expressed in the question “Why is there something rather than nothing?” As such, this question, as per the dictum of the 16th century Kabbalist Shimon Labis, is its own answer, answering itself without leaving anything to be explained." @default.
