These are classic avenues of civilization found the world over. But they are so much more. For they are recurring forms in and through which human beings go about making their lives more meaningful. As such, they are nothing less than fundamental modes of human becoming.
Here we look into them one by one — swinging open the particular gateway into the world that each represents — to clearly see the overarching aim of its ongoing endeavor, which results in distinct ways of experiencing people and things in general, and thereby of living out one’s life in the world.
