Preface (Sapere aude
incipe)

When men of good conscience honestly
reflect upon the events that sculpt one's life, such thoughtful reflection
inevitably leads to the questions asked throughout all of human history
regarding their purpose in life and the nature of justice. The
aberration of man tends one toward some radical notion, but upon genuine
reflection, such aberration must be laid aside in favor of clear logic
regarding the plight of man in his effort to survive and his pursuit of
liberty and justice.
This logic demands honesty in rendering
and interpreting events, and yet further requires the sublime notion that
truth and justice must be that which is true and just for all of man. The
elitist is merely perverted regarding his own self-worth whereas one's genuine worth
is but a single measure of a far greater whole.
Such is the endeavor of this examination,
namely an honest investigation into the purpose of man and his
responsibility to liberty and justice. Biases and esoteric pathologies
aside, man's purpose and nature can be discovered by the intellectually
honest, and a polity dear to liberty can be devised and implemented so as
to secure what is true and just for the greater whole of mankind.
Fitting that the
Burney crest proclaims
Sapere aude incipe
which means "Dare
to know, start!" Therefore, let us now start, daring cerebral integrity in
discovery of the purpose of man and his responsibility to liberty and
justice.
