Overview

Creative force or creative shaping? This unprecedented effort to plumb the workings of the ontopoiesis of life by disentangling its primordial forces and shaping devices as they enter into the originary matrixes of life yields surprising insights. Prepared by the investigation of the first two matrixes (the ""Womb of Life"" and ""Sharing-in-Life"", ""Analecta Husserliana"" volume 74) this collection of essays focuses upon the third and crowning creative matrix. ""Imaginatio Creatrix"" here proves itself to be the source and driving force which brings us to the origins of the human mind - human life.
