The Ontology of I/Thou Jay Edson

This is an autobiography of sorts. My primary agenda, though, is not to give the reader a coherent account of my life. Rather I use my recollections of an odd assortment of intense experiences as jumping off points for some philosophical and religious reflections. The experiences are always as much about someone else as they are about me - hence the emphasis on I/Thou. It should also be noted that my primary audience is people who are, or have been, incarcerated, but I would hope that a wide variety of people might find the vignettes and reflections of some interest. We are all, after all, imprisoned in one way or another.
