This hugely own account of a lifetime’s non secular and philosophical enquiry charts the author’s trip of religion via modern tradition. Distinguishing among what she posits because the ‘universal’ and the ‘rhapsodic’ trademarks, Tymieniecka interrogates innovations as diverse as creativity and the media, pleasure and discomfort, and fact and ambiguity. She contemplates the probabilities and bounds of communique among humans, and descriptions what she calls the ‘transnatural destiny’ of the human soul.
The booklet asserts that in contrast to concept, which unfolds a logical continuity, and in contrast to discussion, that's directed sequentially upward towards highbrow conclusions, the mode of mirrored image of the ‘rhapsodic logos’ imposes no limits or caps upon its knowing. as a substitute, the ‘logoic’ stream interlaces the rhapsodic cadences of our reflections on fact, in all their innumerable fluctuations, and sifts them to mould the intimate mind/soul inwardness that we event as faith.
The radiative meditations of this ‘rhapsodic logos’ weave their manner during the entanglements of the secret of incarnation, the constitutive archetypes, the inwardly sacred, the transnatural future of the soul, and eventually ascend the rhapsodic scales towards culminating religion within the Christo-Logos.

Yet we do flip to direct lively come across with inexorable and harmful swap in addition. In a fashion corresponding to our symbolically transmuting unfavourable realities into beneficiary values, we chain the basic force into cyclic rituals and practices of lifestyles. We introduce into this technique a transmutation of the unfavourable into the useful units wherein we ingeniously take the degree of the blind elemental force by means of channeling it into the cyclic patterns—habits, customs, and rituals—and we recruit the blind force itself into the parable of development, discovering redemption for our person destruction in ideologies glorifying collective success. We even attempt to struggle chaos with its personal guns; our modern restlessness, the results of man’s neglecting to safe for himself any inward safe haven, his failure to safe for himself intimacy as one of these safe haven, drives him, into assembly movement with movement. He demanding situations time in unending, frantic chains of task, he attempts to defy and grasp switch through the use of a number of varieties of movement within the universe for his personal reasons, for his use, in order that they are directed by way of him of their turning into. He seeks to get sooner than the rate of switch itself in an incessant, frantic look for altering varieties to be made through him, for a few success transcending the worth of anyone lifestyles.

Prolegomena to the Phenomenology of Cosmic construction (Assen: Royal Van Gorcum, 1966). five Our origination on the earth poses tricky questions. In a feeling, already on the embryonic degree an natural being participates on this planet via a number of techniques of progress for which he makes use of numerous elements from his atmosphere. And but the looks of an absolutely constructed and self sufficient being that breaks out of an eggshell, mother’s womb, and so forth. is a thorough step, for this is overall, self-reliant abandonment to the world’s forces with out the security of an intervening medium. right here emerges self-assessment in the global, for the dwelling being is thrown into the realm with no reprieve and is deserted to its personal units. but the ways that a newly born human youngster participates on the earth are basically manifested and are very restricted and his participation on the planet, even if overall for the sake of his natural survival, is so restricted on the subject of life’s complete dimensions that lets not often give some thought to the moment of start as that at which the baby takes ownership of the area. The preliminary front into the area could be radical within the experience of the self-assessment prompted and the publicity skilled, but the origination of the being in the global is a genetic method that is going besides the revolutionary unfolding of the entire colleges of the dwelling being in progress.
