Abstract
To the outsider, the problems of philosophy and theology are like the heads of the Hydra: for every one dissevered, two others replace it. Actually, at the root of one’s frustrations over trying to attack problems piecemeal and in order is their close interconnection. How can one realistically treat of consciousness and experiencing, even in the historical perspective we have chosen, without delving into truth? And so we have brushed against this topic innumerable times in the preceding pages. Hopefully, our reversion to these earlier themes will prove an enlightening repetition, serving especially to clarify the relationship of a metaphysics of Being to a symbolism of person.
