I’ve uploaded an update to the collection of my weblog writings: Acts of Being: Selected Weblog Writings From 2006 to 2014. Here is the text from the Preface for this new edition:
I’ve added nearly 50 chapters to this Fifth Edition. All but this chapter are reformatted essays from my writings during 2014 which were published on this weblog, Acts of Being.
In 2014, I shifted course slightly and began working on a more than half-completed novel which has sat in storage for nearly 10 years—how the time does fly. I continued my study of mathematics of a sort which might help to develop the qualitative tools, concepts and words, which can help generate proper descriptions of human being and its various relationships, including the issue so important in an age in which the `positive’ sciences (including empirical studies of history and literature and so forth) have been so successful: how much can be understood by way of quantity and what is left over to be understood by way of those non-quantitative modes of understanding which often seem to be as necessary as they are ghost-like in recent generations?
And it remains true that I hope your thinking is stimulated by what you find in this book.
