The existence of the whole universe is a gallery through which the life visits within and outside. Naturalism is the characterization certificate of the living and non-living things. We as a human race stand at the center of such a universal structure. The greatest of all great is the undiscovered unity of the Lord of worship. The man, world and God relation has been a subject triad in various studies, either in humanities, science or technology. Nevertheless, death is the reality which doesn’t have any recovery. The human is destined to end, though a thoughtful life is still available, full of dreams. Somehow or however, I exist, we and all of us, are born in this world to live the best way we want or we may quest for in order to utilize the necessary opportunities, goods or luxuries in life. Simultaneously, we are attached in a relationship with this outer society consciously and unconsciously.
My identity comes out in the presence of the other man, otherwise there exists no meaning and the purpose of life, assuming it is only in darkness lacking individuality or meaningful existence. The reality of existence is useless, if it has any purpose or we have been sent for being tested; all such dilemmas are logically unverifiable. The only fact that we can conclude: is that we are born with a body and of a sensible mind. A philosopher’s mind tries their best to search for the answers to satisfy their quest for ultimate reality, as the backdrop of their quest for meaning and purpose.
Turning to the contemporary modern approach of analytical philosophy, it brought language as the whole sole domination of what is civilization. It posits that linguistic structure is the only knowledge discovered within human race, whatever is customized as language. All discourses are constituted in a basis for producing knowledge of this external world. The infected life of an individual shows the symptoms as fearmorphism in partial structuralism. Projecting towards such linguistic or structural codes of living prevents us from our essential interrogation of impartial existence of the ‘self’. It is the Sartrean man of authentic being to be conscious of realization if being for itself (authentic being) from being in itself. As in connection to the concept of a partial world it is not completely non being but the being - a kind that projects us with the readymade choices. This structuralism constructs partial owing of identity, to the fact that it is fixed and limited and that doesn’t allow our responsive freedom and wide awakeness as possible. Within such a mood of being, of course, it conveys fearmorphism of a partial structuralism. These choices are like the bolster of fearmorphosis unrecognized and unrealized. The zone of comfortable practice shut the doors of possible illumination of man’s destiny. And 'freedom' is compromised.
The life of human beings is always situated and through choices projected towards the future accelerated by the hierarchy of needs. Thus, it is a kind of cyclic being in the world. While in between, at some moment or projection of choice (given bolster) one enjoys and feels happy. It is the motivation for something which they desire or they reason that is responded but it is needed to understand that it doesn’t mean man is happy in totality. We all must interpret the difference that is the life but only to fulfill our needs or the structural demands. The real essence of the impartial self is nowhere existing or I may refer it, is nowhere dominated. The push and pull of the hierarchical needs are also a player in disguise. Each situation of a human life has a saturation point and one again has another venture. Slowly and gradually humans unconsciously keep getting away from this impartial self. The overall cycle of the life of a human being goes in a manner delineated by the partial structural society or a world as a whole. Now, an individual self--a part (impartial) is dominated by nature to represent the whole (partial). The very notion which I want to elucidate here is the role and nature of a partial whole and how the impartial self cannot be revived due to fearmorphism of the whole. However, the concrete fact is that ‘all of us are conscious of his impartial self’. We humans with a perfect mind and body have a great mechanism in-built to calculate right & wrong and good & bad through the process of life. The lost humanity is the resultant symptom with implications of this partial structure and it's doomed fate of self-surjection [self-subjugation?].
I really sometimes sit to contemplate, and to see, and I remind myself as being a part of the whole, unable to present my impartial essence in this partial world. The partial structuralism holds me so tightly that I am bound to carry a handbag rather than keeping a wallet in my pockets. Think for a thought of a moment, if any self introduces to wear or carry the wallet in some sort of style how will it be accepted and affected, and also know the disturbance it will create in the marketing of the handbags. This is another serious factor and there, of course, is an invitation to the criticism against being away from the structural strata. The habit of avoidance is one of the methodologies that make us distance the presenting of our essential impartial existence. This is actually a type of fearmorphosis which is greater than the fear of DEATH. It holds how my ‘impartial self’ unfits in the ‘partial world’. However, this illustration is too simple but speaks volumes to portray the world as Partial Structuralism or a cause of fearmorphism. The relational role we play in the presence of ‘other’ carry us to develop the way shown by the whole. And in doing so, we all are Sisyphus, the boulder we are carrying again and again is the result of not being the impartial self. This is the first and foremost fearmorphism, which later develops into different types of morphism of fear. The philosophy which I am trying to introduce through this paper is partial structural fear morphisms that recently discussed and developed in the writings of my works (see Subba, e.g., Subba, 2023), as a contemporary philosopher of the 21 st century.
Moving with these artifacts then lets starts our journey of life as a narrative. A captain of a ship never knows that their ship shall sail to its destination or not. They are well familiar of the structural nature of the water body they sail and well know they are at risk of different fearmorphisms. You may be thinking of what is the fearmorphism of the ship sailing in the water? The basic inherent feature of water has different fear morphosis like water storm, high winds, sea pirates, underwater volcanoes, water currents, the sea creatures and within the ship itself. Here, in limitations of the partial structuralisms, these can be described as different forms of known fear, still the captain sails. Similarly we are the captain of our life that owns peculiar structural morphisms of fear. The responsible man as a captain is ready for such hardships and challenges because of the motivational force of the destination. And, they keep this journey going with the ups and downs of it, along with the different destinations intended. Man is also the captain of his life similarly, which carries the responsibility, authentically served. The existence means, he is born, reared and grown with the world. Our existence is surrounded with the partial structure that encourages our body to disguise the essence and report in the manner convenient to the 'normanl' system of conventions. The cycle of life is difficult to such a manner of operations, and one is challenged to be merely strong willed, to be the impartial self (part) in the partial whole. The consequential fear of the choices of the decisions, in a situated life of being limited, is the very nature of our essential self.
The purpose of life cannot be fulfilled and the cycle of life within fearmorphism has no end but death itself. We the humans of this advanced and technical world has rather increased the fear by the ameliorating of the existential being. The addition of the complex mechanics develops novel types of fearmorphosis is another application of this modern world. The philosophy of such partial structure as a whole and part as a self in relation of the above ideology needs wise critical hermeneutics of the purposeful life as a humanist in the world. Derivatives of the structural fearmorphism has its own relevance and existence and it cannot be discarded or demolished for it is relatively significant in the development of life. But what all is pertinent is self-certification.
This is the very relevant issue to ponder and procure the essence than being a Sisyphus of the modern world of partial structure.
