Situated at the crossroads of nature and culture physics and consciousness cosmos and life
history - intimately conjoined with time - continues to puzzle the philosopher as well as the
scientist. Does brute nature unfold a history? Does human history have a telos? Does human
existence have a purpose? Phenomenology of life projects a new interrogative system for
reexamining these questions. We are invited to follow the logos of life as it spins in
innumerable ways the interplay of natural factors human passions social forces science and
experience - through interruptions and kairic moments of accomplishment - in the human creative
imagination and intellective reasoning. There then run a cohesive thread of reality.
