Thoughts on Today and Tomorrow

The work that follows uses the written word to communicate a philo­sophically-engendered vision, such approxi­mation to reflective wisdom as I have been able to develop so far. Now if reflective wisdom is what I have been claiming it to be above, then any communication of it by way of writing is at best an attempt, by way of a linguistic-meaning-bearing proxy, to communicate the author\u27s thoughts and claims by first and fore­most pointing a reader back into such ex­peri­ence in his/her own life and such re­flec­tion upon it as would (so it is hoped) issue in the read­er\u27s discovery of what the author is talking from-and-about so that the reader, understanding what is being claimed, will be in the best position to assess the claims’ truth and join, from out of the way he/she can dwell in our com­mon hu­man­ity, in dialogue over this matter of the problematic of ex­istence. The consideration of it will fall into two parts. Part I will address the emergence within being of today; Part II will address tomorrow and the task of today as re­gards the emergence of ­tomorrow. -- from the Introductio
