Conclusive Insights into the Question of “Reality” as the Outcome of Our Foregoing Investigations

Abstract

As we began our explorations of the ways along which human reality has been established by raising the question of reality per se, so our quest at its end leads us back to that question. Indeed, within the creative context we have at last gained the proper perspective on this great metaphysico-ontological issue, which emerged from a one-sided assumption that “givenness” is the first and last ground for investigating “reality.” Once it has been shown how the otherwise “blind,” “mute,” and self-enclosing sphere of beingness of individualizing life explodes from within, under the promptings of the Human Condition, which bring about an ever-inventively-expanding plurivocal and pluridimensional universe of the human spirit, the issue of reality shifts definitely from the flat bias of “givenness” to that of the spontaneous workings and creative inventiveness of individualizing beingness. From the epistemological level it shifts to the metaphysics of life and its protoontology. That is, after we have covered the tortuous paths of the architectonic works of the primogenital factors of life, the issue of reality emerges in its germinal significance as that of the “reality of life.” It is there that it is to be explored and formulated before we draw from it speculative formulations.
