The Metaphysics of Liberty

Philosophy suffers from an way over convoluted introspection. One result's that techniques multiply unchecked. That a few occasions have observable motives will get reified right into a First reason or, in a extra secular age, to the thesis that each occasion is fatalistically decided. one other obstacle of convoluted introspection is that tiny yet the most important assumptions slip in, usually unawares, with the end result that densely argued counter-tomes are written in answer and no development is made towards any form of consensus.

Sample text

It not only conducts the elementary symbiotic communication of life’s program but also plays an essential role in the specifically human sphere. In fact, the force of the logos of life manifests in its exercise that it is suspended on an overarching network of human sharing-in-life within which human vital interests, personal relations with others, etc. are intertwined and within which it is molded in innumerable and protean ways that are informed by specifically human sentience. 5. The Ontopoietic Sequence: Endowment, Impulse, Force, Direction, Adjustment, Coordination Having enumerated the various functional features and factors of the logos of life in its promoting life’s deployment, let us now focus on its essential organizing-constructive-directional device, with reference to which their constructive orchestration occurs, that is, on the ontopoietic sequence.

This is not a neutral intellectually grasped causal chain but the congenital communality of the living, which delimits their common conditions of existence as well as their interdependence upon each other and the All. If we denominate the schema of interdependence in generation, sharing-in-life, psychic communication, etc. as intentionality, then the intentionality of life is primordially sentient, for communicable signs, language, is essentially accessible through sentience. Only with the human mind at the peak of its abstract performance is intentionality intellective.

Within the creative modus of human functioning in its specifically creative orchestration there occurs a metamorphosis of the vital system of ontopoiesis and consequently the timing of ontopoiesis is transformed too. But to reach the point of addressing the question of temporality, we have first to cover the ground of the transition from the vital to the human significance of life on the way to the Great Metamorphosis. 4. The Creative Human Mind’s Interpreting the Vital Significance of the Life Course in the Human Condition With the introduction of the intellective sense, Imaginatio Creatrix accounts for the objectification of the sphere of existence around-and-in us in representation, thus setting up the 34 ANNA-TERESA TYMIENIECKA “world” of beings, spheres, things.
