- Abstract
-
This paper invites your travel from the “deep me” of self to other with the knight’s hidden inwardness (Kierkegarrd, 1990), to see what takes place in the dynamics of my selfreferred living system Maturana calls autopoiesis and then, moving from self-transcendence to “absolute otherness.” Here ‘I’ is in the space between Master signifier ‘I’ and the significant
other, where ‘I’ is never alone but always transpersonal. This unified existential and experiential space puts their unity together that gives them the potential to educe new meaning to life in a way that conserves what already is, and also prepares them for creative performances in which the contextual significance of education is manifest. - Downloads
