Description

Human societies have always been preoccupied with three main searches: the Search for Technology, the Search for Truth, and the Search for Meaning. Social structures; currents of action and thought; philosophies; and history, all are driven and honed by the Three Searches. And the most frequent and conscious of these searches is that for Meaning. The Story is indispensable for the Search for Meaning.

In this second part of The Story in Three Parts, John H.T. Francis presents a philosophical essay on the central role of the Story in our lives and in our general understanding of the world. The Story is everywhere, in all that is of human meaning. It is in us and in our outside reality; it is even, in a certain sense, our outside reality in its unfolding.

The Three Searches, Meaning, and the Story is a foundational essay in philosophy, which can be read independently from the other parts of The Story in Three Parts.

This book is suitable to those who are genuinely interested in intellectual and philosophical subjects – please request a copy only if so.
