PHI 8360 The Notion of Being
What first arises within human awareness is the question of Being that orients us toward the Whole. It is this orientation that makes intellection and volition possible. This orientation has typically been conceived intellectually, but more recently in terms of the relation of full humanness to the underlying mystery of Being. Readings in Parmenides, Plato and Aristotle; Avicenna and Aquinas; Spinoza, Hegel and Heidegger.
