What Is Your Ultimate Concern?
If there wasn't some fundamental purpose or reason that underlies every other reason you have to act, then those reasons wouldn't exist. This entire chain must lead back to a first cause.

And so if you pursue final causality all the way, you come to some version of Sumon Bonham or what Paul Tillic, the religious philosopher, talked about ultimate concern.
