In Lorenz Puntel's vision, philosophy as the universal science can be holistic without being imperialistic.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe book presents theoretical frameworks as indispensable for any and all theorizing. It argues that there can be truths only relative to sufficiently determinable theoretical frameworks, and that all such frameworks are genuinely revelatory ontologically. No problematic relativism results, however, because such frameworks can be compared and thereby ranked with respect to their theoretical adequacy.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003ci\u003eStructure and Being \u003c\/i\u003econtributes to the reconciliation of analytic and continental philosophy by insisting upon clarity and precision, as the former does, while aiming for comprehensiveness, as the latter often does.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLorenz B.
