The book The Emergence and Transfiguration of Man, whose contents are presented below, approximately follows the trajectory that my thought took for several decades while writing it. This is apparently the reason why the book turned out to be so difficult to comprehend as a whole – all the more so as its three volumes taken together are quite long (over a thousand pages).

All of this led me to write a series of small books based on The Emergence and Transfiguration of Man (which we sometimes call the “big book”). These books have a different structure and are very concise – thanks not only to textual cuts but also to the abridgement of ideas and doctrines. Each of these small books (the first of which you are currently reading) may be considered separately, yet all of them taken togetherwill not cover even remotely the entire material of the big book.

To facilitate comprehension, the small books present the big book in a highly abridged form. They may be called the big book’s “calling cards”. They will inevitably evoke many questions, the answers to which are found in the big book.

The Emergence and Transfiguration of Man is intended for particularly motivated readers that would like to get better acquainted with the thoughts and theses that are presented in a concise and abridged form in the small books.
