p+p
| In BEING REAL
the
author expands on (a) Heidegger's observation that a person in not a
thing but a way of relating to possibilities, and (b) the theory of
violence in Out of the Caves.
The book relates the normal (inauthentic) human way of life with a
long-standing human addiction to political rather than moral thinking,
and argues for the possibility of humans being less violent and more authentic than normal.

| In Out of the Caves the
author argues that the continuing human addiction to certain ancient ways
of thinking is crippling our evolution as a person-species by keeping us
addicted to the violation of integrity. Persons - and only persons - make
a world meaningful. Integrity of one kind or another is the basis of all
meaning, all life, all value. Violence violates integrity and is therefore
antithetical to the realisation of meaning. If we don't kick the ancient
habit of thinking like hunter-warriors, by changing the way we think, then
we doom our species to devolving back into the meaninglessness from which
our ancestors emrged so long ago. Showing why this is so, and suggesting
some ways of evolving a better outcome, is the subject of this work.
Out of the Caves replaces
Towards
an Understanding of Human Violence (now out of print),
Renovation
One (About Violence) and Renovation Two (Beyond Violence)-

| All ordinary folk, living ordinary
lives, are extraordinary when you get to know them. The characters in this
intricate and intensely human novel are ordinary. They meet and part, they
raise families and work for a living after the manner of people since time
immemorial. Each, in her or his own unique way, is haunted only by the
normal wonder and burden of personhood and the need to be loved. Each,
in his or her own special way, seeks to find or create those precious fragments
of truth with which ordinary folk redeem their extraordinary lives. From
the commonplace of human experience, FRAGMENTS of TRUTH from the FICTIONS
of a SELF creates a dense, erotic masterpiece which celebrates the
poignant magic to be found endlessly in each unique instance of the ordinary. |
