The Dance of Being: Man's Labyrinthine Rhythms : the Natural Ground of the HumanFordham Univ Press, 1979 - 302 oldal 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. |

It was a pullulation, an unfolding, a form-building (made possible by the overbalancing of its instability, yet controlled by the laws of growth inherent within it), of something brewed out of water, albumen, salt and...

14. oldal - He flew vigorously to one corner of his compartment, and, after waiting there a second, flew across to the oth'er. What remained for him but to fly to a third corner and then to a fourth ? That was all he could do, in spite of the size of the downs, the width of the sky, the far-off smoke of houses, and the romantic voice, now and then, of a steamer out at sea.
v. oldal - I sigh the lack of many a thing I sought, And with old woes new wail my dear time's waste • Then, can I drown an eye, unus'd to flow, For precious friends hid in death's dateless night, Ana weep afresh love's long since cancell'd woe, And moan th' expense of many a vanish'd sight.
