520    "In Reasonable Hope considers three foundational responses
       to this quest for some understanding of the existence, 
       meaning, and value of everything. Other approaches can be 
       considered as combinations or variations of these. Firstly,
       there is the approach which claims that it is our humanity,
       exercising its unique intelligent subjectivity, that is 
       the source and measure of all possible meaning and value. 
       Nothing can be thought of as existing, meaningful or of 
       value apart from a thinking human subject. This is a 
       broadly Humanist approach to ultimate meaning. Man is the 
       measure of all things. Secondly, there is the approach of 
       Scientism. This claims that an ultimate understanding of 
       the world and ourselves must be sought, less 
       anthropocentrically, in terms of the findings of basic 
       empirical sciences such as physics and chemistry. We live 
       in a world ever-increasingly dominated by the autonomous 
       system of science and technology. Such Scientism implies 
       an explicitly reductionist and materialist conception of 
       the meaning and value of everything. Thirdly, there is the
       approach of Theism which maintains that, in the final 
       analysis, the meaning and value of everything, insofar as 
       this can be known, is to be explained in terms of a 
       transcendent infinitely perfect personal being we call 
       God."--|cProvided by publisher.
