Suffice it to say that the conceptuality which I accept — and accept because it seems to do justice to deep analysis of human experience and
observation, as well as to the knowledge we now have of the way «things go» in the world — lays stress on the dynamic «event» character of that world; on the inter-relationships which exist in what is a societal
universe, on the inadequacy of «substance» thinking to describe such a
universe of «becoming» and «belonging», on the place of decisions in freedom by the creatures
with the consequences which such decisions bring about, and on the central importance of persuasion rather than coercive force as a clue to the «going» of things in that
universe.
