Also consider
for a second reordering for §Journey in
Being: ‘What is the Journey in Being in which The Individual and the Journey will be fundamental and a source of
the understanding of the journey in which the relation between the individual
and the universe (all being) is manifest. Since the second ordering is an
‘inversion of the first, it may be appropriate in the following to place the
individual and the journey near the middle of the system
Being
being, element, existence, metaphysics, ontology, theory of being
Universe
actuality, contingency, laws, necessity, possibility, world
Logos
boundary, constitutive of being, edge, end, form, law, laws and forms are necessary and possible entities, logic, necessary form, no beginning, no creation, universe contain eternities and infinities
The Void (nothingness; non-being)
annihilation, complement of the universe, death, forms, ghost universes, ghosts, laws of logic are not true laws, no laws, patterns, principle of sufficient reason, recurrence, restraints, universe >>> the ‘known universe, void º every entity º every possibility º the universe º all being, what is logically possible is possible
The
stability is returned through the concept of the normal, world
Mind
feeling is universal, primal knowledge, quasi-causal, quasi-deterministic, routine function, sentience
Becoming
atomism, complexity, design, divides, duration, elements, extension, incrementalism, indeterminism, journey, necessity of all becoming, origin, primal ethics, primal force, symmetry, variety
Order and Chaos
indeterminism
Mechanism and Explanation
evolution as mechanism, identity as an example of explanation, necessity and probability but not universality of mechanism, normal mode of becoming, variation and selection
Form
a form is an object, forms are elements of the logos, forms have being, ideas and action and their history, not elements of another universe, universals, variety of forms
Object
belief, common faith, concept, explanation, extension, ideal object, illusion, intension, intuitive forms, knowledge, possibility of metaphysics, principles of thought, symbol, theory, understanding
The Individual
also see
identity and object
Truth
beauty
LOGIC
limitations of logic on the realization of description, primal probabilistic logic, science, symbolic case, truth vs. falsehood, understanding of logos
Cosmology
articles of faith, force, matter, origin, recurrence, space-time, span of being
Identity
continuity of individual identity in life, dissociation, gives meaning to being that is the span of individual beings, multiple lives, sense of being the same individual over change
Human Being and Society
action, art, bridging, categories, commitment, creation, creative function, culture, development, disciplines, economics, elements, functions, group functions, humor, integration, law, love, meaning, politics, religion, structure, symbol, technology, value
Desirability
commitment, constructive of value, economic, ethical, feasible, good, group decisions and action, high value, modes of life, prohibitive, promotion, right, value
Faith
articles, bridging, common faith, dogma, myth, religion
In the present ordering, the following changes
are possible: 1. combine mind, universe, the void, and the normal; 2. combine
logos, form and logic, 3. combine becoming, order and chaos, mechanism and
explanation, 4. combine identity, object and the individual, and truth, 5.
combine human being and society, desirability, and faith. This results in an outline:
Being
being, element, existence, metaphysics, ontology, theory of being
Mind, the
Universe and the Void and the
Mind: feeling is universal, primal knowledge, quasi-causal, quasi-deterministic, routine function, sentience
The universe and the void: actuality, annihilation, complement of the universe, contingency, death, forms, ghost universes, ghosts, laws, laws of logic are not true laws, necessity, no laws, patterns, possibility, principle of sufficient reason, recurrence, restraints, universe >>> the ‘known universe, void º every entity º every possibility º the universe º all being, what is logically possible is possible, world
The normal: stability is returned through the concept of the normal, world
Logos, form
and logic
Logos: boundary, constitutive of being, edge, end, form, law, laws and forms are necessary and possible entities, logic, necessary form, no beginning, no creation, universe contain eternities and infinities
Form: a form is an object, forms are elements of the logos, forms have being, ideas and action and their history, not elements of another universe, universals, variety of forms
LOGIC: limitations of logic on the realization of description, primal probabilistic logic, science, symbolic case, truth vs. falsehood, understanding of logos
Object
Object: belief, common faith, concept, explanation, extension, ideal object, illusion, intension, intuitive forms, knowledge, possibility of metaphysics, principles of thought, symbol, theory, understanding
Truth: beauty, truth
Identity
and the Individual
continuity of individual identity in life, dissociation, gives meaning to being that is the span of individual beings, multiple lives, sense of being the same individual over change
Becoming
Becoming: atomism, complexity, design, divides, duration, elements, extension, incrementalism, indeterminism, journey, necessity of all becoming, origin, primal ethics, primal force, symmetry, variety
Mechanism
and Explanation
Indeterminism, order and chaos
Mechanism and explanation: evolution as mechanism, identity as an example of explanation, necessity and probability but not universality of mechanism, normal mode of becoming, variation and selection
Cosmology
articles of faith, force, matter, origin, recurrence, space-time, span of being
Human
Being and Society, Desirability and Value, Faith
Human being and society: action, art, bridging, categories, commitment, creation, creative function, culture, development, disciplines, economics, elements, functions, group functions, humor, integration, law, love, meaning, politics, religion, structure, symbol, technology, value
Desirability: commitment, constructive of value, economic, ethical, feasible, good, group decisions and action, high value, modes of life, prohibitive, promotion, right, value
Faith: articles, bridging, common faith, dogma, myth, religion
