Challenging recent relativisms, 'deconstructivsms' and scepticism toward rationality, reason, logos, this collection tends towards a vision in which, according to Tymieniecka's introduction: 'the works of the Logos manifest themselves in the edifice of life': through forays in several perspectives emphasizing culture. Rationality and consciousness, personality, the moral significance of life, valuation, values... prepare for the last section: 'Rationalities in the societal and cultural life'. Mainly by scholars from the Baltic States gathered at the First International/Baltic Phenomenology Congress in Riga (Latvia) held by The World Phenomenology Institute with the Latvian Academy of Science, in September, 1990, this collection once again shows phenomenology's world-wide spread and universal validity.
