Synopsis
Excerpt from The Mystery of Being
His research - philosophical research - will appear therefore as an effort to put true questions (cf. Chapter IV, on Truth), which implies that he is endowed with the courage of thought inseparable from liberty.
II. A Broken World... page 18
Enquiry into one of the conclusions of the foregoing chapter, which dissociates truth and universal validity.
Is not this dissociation dangerous?
If not, how, and from what point does it appear so?
Note that the objection implies a pre-notion or anticipated schematizing of the relation between the subject and the truth which he will have to recognize.
Truth is indeed conceived as something to be extracted; this extraction is referable on principle to a universal technique, with the result that truth should be transmissible to anyone.
But we are prone to forget that the more intelligence transcends technical activity, the less the reference to anyone as inderterminate is called upon to intervene.
This objection is on the other hand a product, as it were, of a world that ignores exigencies of reflection.
This world of ours is a broken world, which means that in striving after a certain type of unity, it has lost its real unity. (These types of unity in the broken world are:
(1) Increased socialization of life: we are one and all treated as agents, registered, enrolled, and we end by merging into our own identity cards. (2) Extension of the powers of the State, which is like a searching eye on all of us. (3) This world has lost its true unity probably because privacy, brotherhood, creativeness, reflection and imagination, are all increasingly discredited in it.

The Mystery of Being, Vol. 1: Reflection and Mystery (Classic Reprint)
Print on DemandSeller: Forgotten Books, London, United Kingdom
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the essence of spiritual reality, not through rigid doctrines, but as a quest for truth. The author invites the reader to join this journey, tracing the movement of thought from its initial spark of disquiet to the fulfillment of a deep expectation. Rejecting the limitations of both individual subjectivity and purely objective thinking, the author explores a middle ground where philosophical inquiry unfolds. This fertile space transcends the confines of the "broken world" dominated by technology and social pressures, and instead seeks an increasingly pure mode of experience. Through reflection on feeling, participation, and the very nature of life itself, the book unveils the profound connection between the individual and the depths of time, ultimately revealing the mystery of presence. This presence, exceeding the limits of both object and problem, forms the very foundation of philosophical research and opens a window onto the eternal. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
