The proposition explicated in this book is that Czarnocka’s analysis of perception functions as a model of explanation in our attempt to know the nature of the being that underlies the universe. This analysis becomes the basis of the author’s discussion of symbolic truth as a model of explanation and its other applications.

The series "Towards a universal civilization" aims to promote an integration of sciences, humanities, and a discussion of the diversity of religions and cultures. The editors encourage an interdisciplinary approach, perceived as a means to seek common truths in reference to individual life and the life among local and national communities. The monographs and collections of texts debate the forms of experiencing the self in relation to itself, to other people, and towards nature and culture.
