I highly recommend giving him a read.
The Radical Metaphysics of Richard Schain Since contemporary analytic culture does not recognize the reality of the realm of personal metaphysics, except from the perspective of the history of philosophy, any movement in this direction is judged to be subjective or mystical, the greatest of sins to scientifically-minded philosophers. Thus I have labeled my thought as radical metaphysics since it runs counter to the culture of my times. One exception to the overwhelming influence of the analytic mindset is traditional religion, which has stubbornly survived the predictions of its demise. Although Christianity has long since become a superannuated metaphysics, it remains the metaphysics of most people of the western world, as was observed by Schopenhauer a century and a half ago. Its survival is a testimonial to the need for metaphysics by all human beings. All my writings deal with the metaphysics of the existent, interior self. Writing in an existential manner, as I have experienced it, is the greatest form of self-development available to literate individuals. I have often pondered the question of why I should try to disseminate these writings to an unknown public. I have no answer persuasive to myself. Perhaps it is a feeling stemming from the scriptural imperative of placing one's lamp on a lamp stand. Perhaps, as Max Stirner said of himself, it is analogous to a bird singing his song on a tree branch. In any case, I have followed my instinct and my works are available in the section entitled "Published Philosophical Writings." source http://rschain1.tripod.com/Essays.html Moq_Discuss mailing list Listinfo, Unsubscribing etc. http://lists.moqtalk.org/listinfo.cgi/moq_discuss-moqtalk.org Archives: http://lists.moqtalk.org/pipermail/moq_discuss-moqtalk.org/ http://moq.org.uk/pipermail/moq_discuss_archive/
