About

Classic avenues of civilization are found the world over. But there is far more to these than meets the eye. For they are recurring orientations in and through which human beings live out their lives generally. As such, these are nothing less than fundamental modes of human becoming.

Here we explore them one by one — opening wide that particular gateway into the world which each represents — to better see its overarching aim as well as the formative endeavor it embraces, which results in specific ways of experiencing everything generally, and thereby of fashioning one’s life in the world.
