Abstract

When writing a treatise or any literary work, the author is faced with asking, "what is the point of writing this?" This Is a teleologic question in the case of the present work. The "point" here is to explain the human condition as a matter of individual choice. This work is indeed my choice of what the human condition is and is reflexive only of my choice.It is written based on scientific logic even though the problem is humanistic and the "data" is allogorical. The purpose In doing so is to allow a logical base on which to lay my own viewpoint and thoughts. I consider_ myself a scientist. However, this style allows a literal and free expression of my Ideas. I ask then that the reader accept the literary "data" just as readily as one would accept empirical data.
