In addition to substance ontology, alternative systems of metaphysics, and a system of basic words, the document contains systems of words for language, being, mind, knowledge and transformation and a detailed array of sub-topics. Metaphysics Lexicon, just begun as of February 2004, is intended to be a dictionary of basic words for metaphysics in English, French, German, Greek, Latin and Sanskrit (June 2005: when I have completed the 2005 version of Journey in Being, I will import its lexicon) Design for a Journey in Being is the blue print for the future New Ideas and supplements contain ideas for improvement of and corrections to Journey in Being including fundamental enhancements and elaborations to the main paradigms (having supplements eliminates the need for too frequent reprinting) Printed documents Supporting Documents and Reference Bibliographies History of Thought and Action compiled from John A. Garraty and Peter Gay, eds., The Columbia History of the World, 1972. data for [1] possibility of trends, prediction and understanding… and e.g. what kind of trends i.e. while some kinds of trends may be unpredictable this may not be universal; [2] identify focal events and individuals for further study; and [3] History as interaction of thought and action. Combine with: History of Western Philosophy Metaphysics and Power Max Weber's Sociology of Charisma A Note on History and its use in the present context: it is regarded as evident that any narrative history must make choices that reflect a system of valuation and categories of understanding. However, even within these limitations it is clear that the recorded events speak at least as directly to the nature of history than any idea of that nature. Thus, for example, on reading a chapter from the foregoing reference on The Golden Age of Spain it becomes clear that the period in question was much more a patchwork of numerous interacting threads than a monolithic situation, and that the idea of a golden age is a retrospective assignment that exalts something quite tenuous. The history to be written will emphasize both ideas and action and will be bound together on the principles of Journey in Being in which the determinate and necessary are essentially the product of the indeterminate Kinds of Knowledge; also see Susan Haack, Philosophy of Logics, 1978 Linguistics Evolution and Design Evolution, Design and the Absolute Essays on Being Essays on Mind; especially Philosophy of Mind and Consciousness Dreams and Vision Magic and Religion On Design Commentary Journey In Being is the main document. It is an account of the Journey - of my explorations in knowledge and being and is currently the most up-to-date and comprehensive expression of my thought. Journey in Being was intended to be an overview with the Metaphysics, the Experiments, studies in the Variety of Being, and Action being detailed accounts of the phases of the Journey. Currently, however, Journey in Being includes the entire text of the overview - the prologue and the introduction - and the four phases. I may change this structure in the future. The documents for four phases are also useful because their arrangement is different from that in Journey in Being The other essays linked from the site-map are not as current as Journey in Being which often supersedes or vastly improves the ideas from earlier essays. However, the older documents are of interest for some of their ideas and elaborations and may be useful if I later edit or revise Journey in Being Other documents include designs and related concerns Design for a Journey in Being Design for a Journey in Being is a blue print for the future New Ideas: contains ideas for improvement of and corrections to Journey in Being including fundamental enhancements and elaborations to the main paradigms Horizons Enterprises™ Proposal for Horizons Enterprises™ Horizons Enterprises™ Financial Planning Resume Detailed Resume Information links Home Action Links Additional Links for Journey in Being Author Humboldt County Bibliographies Essays on Being Essays on Mind Horizons Enterprises™ Old Home Page Personal Resume Survey Useful Links What's New Contact
