Books > Science Fiction >Stories and Essays ©2017A collection of two science fiction short stories, five philosophical essays, ten flash fiction fables, and over forty journal excerpts. The stories as well as the essays deal with fundamental questions of existence, the universe, consciousness, ultimate reality, epistemology, metaphysics, and ethics. This volume has been compiled with the purpose of bringing into print those works which have previously been only available in digital form. With the exception of the essay "Harmony In Contrast," which is also in the paperback Essays in Science and Philosophy, all of these works have up to now only been available as Kindle eBooks or blog posts at cliffhays.weebly.com/blog. It is hoped that these works will now have the chance to reach those readers who prefer the experience of a physical book.
