To all those with a current interest in this online publication, though I initially intended to keep Chapter 14 as brief as possible, I’m finding that, for the chapter to be optimally cogent, I am in need of importing many elements which I was anticipating to only address in Volume II of this work. The five conceivable ultimate syntelostases of an eidem’s prototelos, aka the five teleions—more colloquially, the five conceivable ends of all ends as pertains to our volition—which are to be specified in Chapter 14 will serve as the metaphorical backbone of this overall philosophy.  Because of this, Chapter 14th's contents (which are of benefit to the contents of Chapter 15) will need to stand their own ground—and, hence, be relatively comprehensive. Nevertheless, part of the juggling act in finalizing Chapter 14 involves describing elements—e.g., such as those of elementary time and space—which will only be formally addressed in Volume II. And there are other transient stumbling blocks to optimal expression of this chapter’s contents.  
Though rushed, Chapter 14 is now uploaded.    


Long story short, although I was initially expecting to upload this chapter relatively soon, I now intend to spend significantly more time in properly formalizing its contents.  
I anticipate taking an extended break from this project. At the very least a few months' time.    


Due to this, please revisit sometime in June of 2024 for any updates.
As always, thank you for your continued interest.  
 
And, as always, thank you for your patience and interest.

Latest revision as of 14:07, 21 April 2024

This website is dedicated to the free publication of a philosophical enquiry concerning ontology and epistemology.

A work initially written over a decade past is being systematically rewritten by the author in hopes of improved clarity and cohesion of arguments. The completed rewrite is anticipated to be approximately 450,000 words (roughly, 1,500 pages), and will likely take well over a decade to produce. Until the rewrite’s completion and release in paperback form, first drafts of revised chapters will be uploaded onto this site, making them freely available to anyone who might be interested.

All contents of this website are offered as public domain under the CC-0 license. The reader—just as much as the author—thereby has the right to reproduce and modify the contents uploaded onto this website in any way the reader sees fit.

Uploaded revisions will be denoted with a bullet (•) in the table of contents. Sections not yet uploaded are provisionally listed for reference and are subject to substantial change.

If you have criticisms of what's been uploaded and would like to share these with the author, if you have questions, or if you would otherwise like to be informed of newly uploaded chapters via email, please contact me—Michael W Moiceanu, the author of this work—at mwmenquiry@gmail.com.

Due to time constraints and the increased ease of administration, for the time being this MediaWiki-based website is closed to public modification.

— Update (April 21, 2024):

Though rushed, Chapter 14 is now uploaded.

I anticipate taking an extended break from this project. At the very least a few months' time.

As always, thank you for your continued interest.
