Mark Pelley is an independent philosopher working on Agápēic Relational Metaphysics (ARM), a systematic first-philosophy deriving non-coercive relational actuality as the only possible ground of being.
Agápēic Relational Metaphysics — Series Guide
This series develops a systematic transcendental metaphysics from a single primitive: agápē — non-coercive, distinction-preserving, self-giving relation — as the only possible ground of being. The argument is eliminative: competing relational modes are shown to collapse into structural failure, leaving agápēic actuality as the uniquely stable first principle. Seventeen papers, four tiers.

Agápēic Relational Metaphysics — Series Guide
This series develops a systematic transcendental metaphysics from a single primitive: agápē — non-coercive, distinction-preserving, self-giving relation — as the only possible ground of being. The argument is eliminative: competing relational modes are shown to collapse into structural failure, leaving agápēic actuality as the uniquely stable first principle. Seventeen papers, four tiers.
Shortest path to the central argument: Reality Is Triune → Why Agápē Is the Only Possible Ground → The Convergence of Independent Routes.
