Full title :Destiny, the inward quest, temporality and life / edited by Anna-Teresa Tymieniecka.

Summary

'There is no greater gift to man than to understand nothing of his fate', declares poet-philosopher Paul Valery. And yet the searching human being seeks ceaselessly to disentangle the networks of experiences, desires, inward promptings, personal ambitions, and elevated strivings which directed his/hers life-course within changing circumstances in order to discover his sense of life. Literature seeks in numerous channels of insight the dominant threads of 'the sense of life', 'the inward quest', 'the frames of experience' in reaching the inward sources of what we call 'destiny' inspired by experience and temporality which carry it on. This unusual collection reveals the deeper generative elements which form sense of life stretching between destiny and doom. They escape attention in their metamorphic transformations of the inexorable, irreversibility of time which undergoes different interpretations in the phases examining our life. Our key to life has to be ever discovered a new.
