The history of western metaphysics from Plato onwards is dominated
by the dualism of being and appearance. What something really is
(its true being) is believed to be hidden behind the 'mere
appearances' through which it manifests. Twentieth-century European
thinkers radically overturned this way of thinking. 'Appearance'
began to be taken seriously, with the observer participating in the
dynamic event of perception. In this important book, Henri Bortoft
guides us through this dynamic way of seeing, exploring issues
including how we distinguish things, how we find meaning, and the
relationship between thought and words. Expanding the scope of his
previous book, The Wholeness of Nature, Bortoft shows how Goethean
insights combine with this dynamic way of seeing in continental
philosophy, to offer an actively experienced 'life of meaning'.
This book will be of interest to anyone who wants to understand the
contribution and wider implications of modern European thought in
the world today.
