The Goal: all Knowledge and Being. Possibility: from conditions of creation

A Key Approach: ask “What is the most an individual - a person, a society… - can do or become?”
Answers encompass all elements of the real, of Being, of human being, of the history of civilization, ideas, exploration. Identity and limits are fluid, their absolutes are merely apparent. Basic Premises: [i] For ultimate meaning, being has a dual imperative: full experience of its own nature and search for ultimate being. [ii] Being and action -knowledge/use- are inseparable

The Exploration begins with personal narrative; is also universal - includes all modes/extensions of agent [knowledge, exploration, transformation, construction of being] and object [known] and issues of existence, duality, nature of agent/object and their modes
