MULTIMANIFESTATIONS: Tradition, Philosophy, Democracy, Psychology (Multifest.com): Recent Episodes
Ed Brown II (multipod@multifest.com)
Welcome to Multimanifestations -- variations on a singular interdisciplinary theme: tradition-philosophy-democracy-psychology. Multimanifestations' primary goal is to provide paradigms that assist the reader to reDiscover, reDefine, reStore, and reVisit a normalcy that augments individuality and community.
Multimanifestations' is a series of living paradigms. These living paradigms serve as a means to study and interpret culture and art from a local as well as global perspective.
Locally and globally there is a call to derive a cross-cultural theory that protects diverse interests. Multimanifestations' discuses be the behavioral and cognitive consistencies between developing/modern/postmodern individuals, peer groups, and communities.
Multimanifestations' is also an archive of literary work. In this website you will find my essays, poetry, and fiction (prose as well as plays).
At issue are the Ethics "of society," the (cathartic/quiescent/vicarious) literacies that lie beneath the (path/map/passage in the) celebration of a (fundamental/practical/metaphysical) culture.
The focus of this essay, living within multimanifestations, is to show how oxymoronic paradoxes are inherent in individuals, communities and societies, and how these composites are derived from similar differences.
Multimanifestations is variations on a singular interdisciplinary theme: tradition-philosophy-democracy-psychology. This theme assists in understanding clearly one's thoughts and opinions as well as assist in interpreting an other's. Hence, this project's primary goal is to elucidate the makings of Society as we the people oscillate between private and public life.
