My theoretical premises have been modern European ontophilosophy, existential ethics and hermeneutics. A scholar's academic past - flawed as it may be - contains the scholar's own personal experiental past (and thus a morsel of a general communal past. and vice versa. It is the author's humble hope therefor that some of the ideas and issues raised in this ... |

What decision has the highest odds of success? Did I land in the unlucky 10% on the strategy that works 90% of the time? Or is my success attributable to dumb luck rather than great decision making? Annie Duke, a ... |
