Having established in the ontopoiesis/phenomenology of life the creative function of the human being as the fulcrum of our beingness-in-becoming, let us now turn to investigate the creative logos.
Prompted and ever diversified by the specifically human interrogative logos, scientific inquiries seek a common system of links in order to mutually confirm and rectify their results.
Situated at the crossroads of nature and culture, physics and consciousness, cosmos and life, history - intimately conjoined with time - continues to puzzle the philosopher as well as the scientist.
