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.".

This book measures contemporary attitudes to the law - within and outside of the legal profession - to see how c17th century Englishmen defined the role of law in their society, to see what their expectations were of the law and how these expectations helped shape political debate - and ultimately determined political decisions - over the course of a very turbulent century.

This book presents an introduction to the metaphysical philosophy of nature put forward by Hedwig Conrad-Martius (1888-1966). Providing a unique perspective on central issues in modern and contemporary theoretical biology and physics, it will be of interest to anyone studying the history of the phenomenological movement as well as religious cosmology. The philosophical basis for this cosmology is Conrad-Martius’ “realontology”—a phenomenological account of the essence of reality. His position centers on the revival of ancient metaphysical themes in new transformed guises, especially potentiality and entelechy. Nature’s status, as a self-actuation of world-constituting essence-entelechies, places Conrad-Martius at the heart of philosophical-theological discussions of e.g. the hermeneutical mandate of demythologization as well as the nature of evolution. Of special interest is his insistence on both nature’s self-actuating and evolving powers and a robust theory of creation. .
