The Problem of Value, initially published in 1961, was his first foray in this fruitful vain. As such it can be said that it both represented and was a precursor to his wide-ranging exploration on the nature of thought itself. Through linguistic analysis Graham aimed to clarify the various approached and types of reasoning "by which each of us seeks his own answers." Along the way he takes up the challenge first raised by linguistic philosophers such as Wittgenstein and explores such essential themes as the nature of egoism, morals, poetry, myth, cosmology, mysticism and ZenAs the editors Carine Defoort and Roager T.
