Philosophy appears to have lost its way.
Part II of II
If we do not know ‘where we are’ we cannot begin to understand ‘what we are’ which in turn prevents us from knowing our function for existing, the purpose for existing.
We have a long way to go before we can say unequivocally:
There is no ‘outside’ to the physical universe.
Until we can state such a fact unequivocally, the study of ‘meta’ - beyond, ‘physics’ – the physical, will remain a critically relevant subject for the public regarding the efforts to answer questions regarding meaning and purpose.

The point: Philosophy has a moral obligation to return to the basics of its intended purpose, which is to address the questions:
Where are we?
Where is the individual in the scheme of it all?
What are we?
What is this ‘thing’ we call individuality?
Why do we exist?
Why does individuality exist?
This work is an attempt to help philosophy return to its moral task of finding answers to the most basic of questions, which have haunted our specie as far back in time as we are capable of remembering.
