Being in the World and Being

By Stephen Albaugh

Being became known in the world long after the world became known, but at about the same time that the world became known in being. They have since had an uneasy relation, with philosophers repeatedly trying to bridge the gap between them, or to find a gap, and the history of their thought has been a long ride, weaving in humanity's hopes and dreams, its cities and its wars. The struggles of thought have left us with objects that are held in common by people, reflections of the world, reflections of being. Objects are what we know. Common objects fill the world and are a challenge to the knowledge of what is.

Dr. Albaugh's series, entitled Ontology, currently lists 47 volumes. Being in the World is volume number six and Being is volume number eight. He is an independent philosopher, living in Des Moines with his wife, Lynda, and their animals. They have four children. He holds a Ph.D. in philosophy and taught philosophy for many years.
