The book records the author's personal and intellectual maturation
over a period of nine decades. This maturation was never purely
self-propelled, but always occurred in response to teachings and
experiences. Situated as a "being-in-the-world", the author's
experiences reach from World War II via the Cold War to recent
"terror wars." Intellectually, he participated in and reacted to a
number of major perspectives: from phenomenology, existentialism,
and critical theory to hermeneutics, postmodernism, and
post-secularism. Exchanges with multiples interlocutors helped to
shape his distinctive outlook or profile; which privileges
self-other contacts over the ego, dialogue over monologue, and
dialogical cosmopolitanism over chauvinistic power politics.
Implicit in this emerging profile is a preference for potentiality
over actuality and of relationality over static identity. Shunning
doctrinal formulas or finished "systems", the author's life thus is
shown to be simply a journey, an adventure to what comes, an
itinerary (mentis in Deum).
