| Paper Title: | Life, Coherence and Integrity |
| Abstract: | The argument of this paper is that our lives have meaning because they are structured by rules which are open to the outside through which it can reflexively fold back into the rules so that it can regenerate and transform them. It is this process that constitutes the unity and integrity of our lives and gives them coherence. Our lives do not have certainty in the sense that there is always a definite answer as to how we should live. It is in this reflexive unity that we have the confidence to respond to the outside and create and transform our narratives, however dangerous that may seem. |
