A Personal Bibliographical History as a Background to this Summary

	I started writing philosophy in the poetical form of free verse before leaving school. 
	During my first year at university I wrote a text called the "The Analysis on the Nature of Things." In this "Analysis" I used what I would call, in retrospect, a synthetic style of dialectic. Except for analytic statements all other propositions could not have a uni-modal determination. E.g., in the statement the wall is white we could argue, as a supplement to meaning, that there is no such thing as pure light, that between photons it would be dark, that there is no such thing as a pure ‘whiteness,’ etc. Similarly, a wall must possess other meanings beside that contained in wallness, e.g., as a message board, a surface for graffiti, a place and space for the hanging of pictures, etc. 
	From 1976 onwards I started a project entitled "The Reanalysis on the Nature of Things." This "Reanalysis" was to be divided into 12 volumes, Epistemology (handwritten), Ontology (handwritten), Aesthetics (typed), Ethics (typed), Logics & Dialectics (in a fast, rough long hand), Metaphysics (in a fast, rough long hand), Physics (only in 50 propositions divided between 10 books), Psychology (in a typed introduction and in the form of 15 propositions), Sociology (only in the form of 15 propositions), Politics (ditto), Para-psychology in three books (outlined in 45 propositions, and one Meditation Manual), and, Theology (written with a typed summary). A "Systematic and Unified Theory of Drama" was written to fill in a gap between my Aesthetics and Ethics, using work in the latter to fill in this noted gap in the former. A condensation of this project was written in 300 propositions and later expanded to 500 propositions.
	Before leaving New Zealand I wrote an influential paper, for me, on the subject "Entertaining Contradictory Thoughts." This further developed my concept of the dialectical and prompted work along more analytical lines in the sense that phenomenologically it can be demonstrated (transcendentally) that all acts of meaning can not be thought in an absolutely definitive form because of this resonance between the intentional object and the intentional field (and the intentional sense of self).
	Work in the field of religious change was also done in this period.
	In re-starting university in Australia this project of the "Reanalysis" was suspended. In its place a series of papers have been written on many of the themes that were being developed in the "Reanalysis." 
	
	Surrounding the core section of this Summary, a summation of work done in the framework of the Reanlysis during that period of time, are a number of sections were I very quickly explore, and attempt to link, a number of themes, namely, various Buddhist ideas (e.g., emptiness), the development of a theoretical and personal theology as well as a theology of experience, an exploration of the phenomenological concept of love, etc. No doubt this type of work would be written differently today and to that extent is left in that state to be reviewed as a ‘beginning’ rather than as a ‘finished product’ in the same spirit this text was written.
