Bridges, Boundaries, and Creativity: Integrating Pre and Post-modernity

Experience and hermeneutics are inseparable. By analyzing different ways of thinking grouped into the three broader categories of rational, pre and post-rational, this work focuses on how they are related to boundaries, bridges, and creativity. The boundaries are the place where conscious experience happens; the bridges are the change, and the choice of interconnection, the creativity, the way of managing this interrelatedness. Archetypes will be presented as the essential forming forms that unify human experiences, transcending and including diversity, offering an opportunity to bridge heritage and novelty. This will be sustained by getting a glance at ancient traditions worldwide. The article also proposes a specific post-rational way of thinking named transe- cognition.
