Rather
than yakking, I am busy with finishing reflections intended to ease up my
ontological void: I am asking myself what the hell has been happening in the
last four years and what's next for me
--
Some
reflections out of thousands: Thus said Serperostra
And
now in the end of 2006 I feel I have a 'more dignifying, ethical, humanistic,
living, embodied' post-propositional methodological and heuristic approach to
the conceptualisation, studying, re-evaluation and conveyance of the human
subject and his/her human existence: One that gratifies me that I am proud in
and full of self-respect for coming up with it: I am completing this Doctor of Philosophy programme from
this place of conviction and self-assurance and attempting to clarify it to
others with similar concerns to me/mine regarding the disconnection, disembodiment, objectification,
mechanisation, reductionism and alienation of and from the human subject and
human existence by the academic wholly propositional heuristic tools and
approaches to the same phenomena of conceptualising, studying, re-evaluating
and conveying the human subject and human existence :
I have my heuristic answer that I believe work for me: I am making it
public for others: to give meaning, productivity and empowerment to my
existence
I
know I use and objectify the other for my own empowerment and self-fulfilment
that I view as my ethical obligation towards myself but my heuristics is
concerned with the humanisation, integrity, autonomy, empowerment and dignity
of the person who is dialectically, reflectively and heuristically engaging and
wrestling with it and who is willing to face the great angst that dong so
embraces: This is consistent with
my view and perception of morality, ethics and a moral duty and obligation that
I perceive as that of the person towards himself/herself: I view the social as
a lever and methodological tool for this ethical not as the essence and
intention of ontology and human
existence: I act ethically towards
others and contribute to them and their ontology as I should like to gratify my
ethical need and obligation towards myself to be an ethical/moral person
I am
actually very traditionalist and conservative:
All
that I am saying is that we can far better conceptualise, study, analyse, engage
with, re-evaluate and comprehend human existence through living, embodied and
post-propositional, critical and systematic heuristic accounts in which
individuals are reflexively and dialectically wrestling and struggling with
their existence through their ethics and their ethical obligation towards
themselves and what I believe is their human all too human ethos of seeking
[greater] meaning, productivity, gratification, fulfilment, empowerment,
dignity, integrity, ontological security and sustainability for themselves in,
with and towards the world: Methodologically, this is being done through a
cyclic, systematic, autoethnographical, ontological living action research
interrelationship with the question
'How do I lead a more meaningful, ontologically secured, sustainable,
productive/constructive, gratifying, dignifying, fulfilling and contributing
existence in, with and towards the world for myself?' An 'I' struggling with itself/himself/herself and his/her/its
existence in, with and towards the world through this question dialectically,
systematically and cyclically engaging with it through negating and
strengthening its components
