These letters were written during the first year I was an Assistant
Professor of Psychology at Pacific University. They detail my early
views on art and life as I struggled to find a place for myself in
a world of ideas and contexts. They were where I began. To fit or
not to fit? How much integrity to let go? How can a writer find a
way of exist and flourish in a seemingly alien world? The letters
weave together the fields of Psychology, Philosophy, and Art in a
search for a workable identity.
Continuing developments in postmodern sensibility as well as
psychoanalysis increasingly illuminate multiple points of view. The
essays in this book reflect studies in these areas and weave
contributions of related disciplines together. The author, an
experienced psychologist who also holds degrees in English
Literature and Philosophy, writes invitingly from numerous
perspectives. Topics addressed include issues of gender, worldview,
crime, religion, mythology, science, &c. The significance of
the context in what we can know is stressed. This is an excellent
overview of the recent emphasis since Wittgenstein and Gadamer on
the importance played by language in knowledge and understanding. A
rich addition to studies of modern culture as well as a clear
enunciation of the factors that form human understanding and the
capacity for meaning, these essays are sure to be consulted over
and over.
