Abstract

If I am asked in the framework of Book 1, "Who are you?" I, in answering, might say "I don't know who in the world I am." Nevertheless there is a sense in which I always know what "I" refers to and can never not know, even if I have become, e.g., amnesiac. Yet in Book 2, "Who are you?"has other senses of oneself in mind than the non-sortal "myself." For example, it might be the pragmatic context, as in a bureaucratic setting; but "Who are you? Or "Who am I?" might be more anguished and be rendered by "What sort of person are you" or "What sort am I?" Such a question often surfaces in the face of a "limit-situation," such as one's death or in the wake of a shameful deed where we are compelled to find our "centers," what we also will call "Existenz." "Existenz" here refers to the center of the person. In the face of the limit-situation one is called upon to act unconditionally in the determination of oneself and one's being in the world. In this Book 2 we discuss chiefly one's normative personal-moral identity which stands in contrast to the transcendental I where one's non-sortal unique identity is given from the start. This moral identity requires a unique self-determination and normative self-constitution which may be thought of with the help of the metaphor of "vocation." We will see that it has especial ties to one's Existenz as well as to love. This Book 2 claims that the moral-personal ideal sense of who one is linked to the transcendental who through a notion of entelechy. The person strives to embody the I-ness that one both ineluctably is and which, however, points to who one is not yet and who one ought to be. The final two chapters tell a philosophical-theological likely story of a basic theme of Plotinus: We must learn to honor ourselves because of our honorable kinship and lineage "Yonder."

Abstract

Volume 2 - In the temporal becoming of individualizing life the actual present passes into past and comes to be reflected and recaptured in memory. While the vital logos of beingness recollects for its constitutive use (employment) fragments from memory ‘s magazine, ensuring constructive continuity in accordance with its genetic patterns, the creative logos of the human mind also is indebted in contrast to the work of memory in creative imagination for the essential role it plays in the selective transformation, invention, projection that informs the felt and intelligible logos of human selfhood, personality, meaning, fullness, destiny... within the human community and the world of life. As fragmentary and seemingly disjointed as it is in relation to concrete subjective experience, memory as it surges from the past into the actual present, even though subject to transformation, maintains an essential link to constituting reality, yes, but more importantly outlines the future. The creative imagination of the logos of human mind projects horizons for the vertiginous past. An encircling continuity of sense then embraces the earliest evolution of humankind, on the one extreme, and the fulgurations of the sacral logos, on the other. Hence we may consider memory as sustaining the sensing the logos of the human orbit with its horizons. In its innumerably differentiated role we may find its unifying stream only upon the primogenital – ontopoietic – platform of the logos of life. Volume 1 - From Aristotle to the present, memory has been grasped as an image--a trace or impression left by a lost reality--and has been seen as bridging physiological experience and consciousness. Through the centuries philosophers have vainly sought to make concrete the nature of this bridge between sensory experience and consciousness. The present-day physiologizing/naturalizing of consciousness is no closer than previous attempts to resolving their congenital continuity. But the very existence and practice of life is rooted in this continuity, and clearly we have to change our approach to and formulation of this enigma (Erwin Straus). This will mean simultaneously hitting upon and entering into the Aristotelian congenital ties between memory and temporality, which acquire crucial significance in our primogenital ontopoiesis of life (Tymieniecka). The ontopoietic approach to the generation and unfolding of beingness, to the step by step temporalizing of life in the whirl of coalescing moments, reveals memory to be the factor that carries the great secret of this coalescence of temporality and the becoming of life itself. This selectivity and coalescence cannot be the fruit of singular functional schemata or organs, but must proceed from the generative springs of life, become the new platform of first phenomenology/philosophy, with the fluctuating thread of continuity of memory now to be sought at the innermost heart of beingness and becoming in the ontopoietic logos of life. We propose in this collection to explore the fulgurating force of memory within the perspective of the constitution of reality: rememorizing and interpretation, consciousness and action, facts and imagination, history and myths, self-realization and metamorphosis...
