Overview

Life is presenting crucial challenges to the human mind in science, technology, culture and social existence; challenges which reach the core of existence, human destiny, and the very meaningfulness - the human significance - of life itself. The compartmentalized sciences fall short of responding to this challenge and present day philosophy, by and large, renounced its vocation of carrying the torch of reason. In this post-modern darkness, the phenomenology of life and of the human condition excavate and bring to light the logos of life in its harmonizing interplay. This collection uncovers the field of the ontopoiesis of life by means of the self-individualization of life, the key to its labyrinth (Tymieniecka). A network of the ontopoietic itineraries manifest life in its innumerable perspectives: the constructive scanning (chronos and Kairos) are treated specifically by Eva Syristova, M. Bielawka, F. Bosio, and M.A. Cecilia. Individualizing dynamisms of passions and the tying of the communal order are explored by G. Bucher, R. Sweeney, A. Polis, A. Zvie Bar-On and others. The life-struggle for the light of the spirit is covered by L. Sundararajan, I.R. Owen and others. The deep springs of mundaneity in human existence (moral sense, empathy, communication) are discussed by A. Luse, A. Ales Bello, J. Cibulka, J. Sivak, etc. The life of the spirit (historicity) is explored by M. Sancipriano, M. Cekic, H. Rodriguez Pineiro, S. Rinofner-Kreidl and others.
