Re: Logically, nothing should exist.
This is the briefest outline I can provide of my theory. The causal process can be explained in a little bit more detail, but recently I gave my condensed explanation to someone who actually said they can understand it, and he is not philosophically informed.
The solution is simple and thinking it through (it took 40 years) it did not actually drive me mad, though some might argue I am mad for even trying to provide a logical answer to the question of Leibniz: Why is there something, rather than nothing?

Re: Logically, nothing should exist.
So much for Hegel. Where Hegel failed to answer Kant is that he did not tie in this simplest of possible beginnings to the complex reality that we now experience. Kant demanded a synthesis where the premise leads to the conclusion necessarily. Hegel has the most logical of beginnings. How can we lead from Hegel's beginning to our present state of complexity? Follow the method prescribed by Kant, and logically, it is possible, only philosophers haven't done this--they have largely misunderstood Kant.
