The
Internet Edition
The
Topics is
an outline sketch of the main divisions of Being
and the Elements of Being. This part includes a discussion of how
the divisions cover personal aspects - my exploration - and universal aspects
of an exploration of Being
The Functions are an encapsulated set of processes and other function
that constitute the many faceted exploration of Being.
This, too, has personal and universal aspects. There may be an irreducibly
personal component; this idea of an irreducibly personal part is part of the
spirit of the time and is not an absolute idea. The approach to the universal
is through [1] a concept of Being and the world, [2] an elaboration of the
nature of Being as object and as agent and being exhaustive with respect to
these dimensions; at the same time focus on Being as such is maintained in
balance with any elaboration, and [3] immersion, not only in direct contact,
but also in the concept of Being and world and their elaborations and realizations
in the traditions of humankind
Being
and the Elements of Being... the present part. As the
exploration is completed and the sketches just described are filled out and as
coherence [internal or logical and external or realistic] is fine tuned the
resulting material becomes the narrative for Being and The Elements of Being.
The present plan is for four main divisions corresponding to The Topics. The
Functions may be realized as part of the main narrative or retained as a
separate and supporting part. For an overview, see the functions x topics
