Dance of Being

Now I continue the investigation begun in Homo Quaerens: The Seeker and the Sought into the generic traits of persons from a philosophic point of view. I treat such special topics of my method set forth in that book as bear upon the person's intrapersonal aspects: namely his body and such of its functions as contribute to his preconscious acts. In particular I deal with those aspects insofar as they may be construed as straining so to speak toward that self-transcendence which culminates in the veridical person - in effect strands of subpersonal events which contribute to and converge upon his consummate personhood. In consequence I explore the ontology of the person under the perspective of his naturalistically interpreted makeup; and I conceive my enterprise as propaedeutic to more generalized ontologic topics which I shall take up in subsequent books.
