| Publisher Description: "The Metamorphosis of the Given" leads us to experience reality as a product of what is given and not-given. Given are the perceptual world and all organizing systems of the mind. Not-given is the act of the human spirit of giving attention and "new meaning"; these are not given, because only the human being can give them. The "conversation" of humanity reflects this interaction between the human spirit and the world. In this process the feeling of reality changes and gives birth to possibilities for a new, emerging shared paradigm. |
