Re: on paradox
David Quinn: Reject utterly everything that one has learned and start afresh, that is my dictum. Accept nothing but the logical process. and I go on where I left: Another such paradox arises: by the use of adjectives that are either autologic or not, and by onomatopoeia (itself heterologous) as dist...

Re: intuition
As processes rather than things , intuition - as well as reasoning - in and of themselves - do not guarantee the objective rightness of any given thing reasoned or intuited. As processes, like organs and immune systems, they can malfunction. What is always right about them is their relationship to ...

Re: Aesthetic experience as a 'mini-me' of enlightenment?
The downside of these kinds of philosophies that vilify, if you will, the processes of life, is that they often produce an unbalanced and rather sickly individual, a distorted individual, a mind-fucked individual. That's very Nietzschean thinking of you and even he was by all measures rather sickly...

Re: Aesthetic experience as a 'mini-me' of enlightenment?
consciousness that is personal is the 'evidence' of all things. most of our positive or unitairy knowledge from experience has become unconscious, organic, and functions automatically. it is not normally presented to perception except when we are disstressed or inspired. there are divergent ways to ...

Re: Modus Operandi
any fact or fiction has no difficulty in finding relatables as supporting evidence , because everything has a 'point of connection' and a period of reality when it is immediate and simultaneous as regards place and time. our difficulty is to re-evoke the past 'as now'*, so we accept the 'semblance o...

Re: Modus Operandi
I will formulate some theses, on sorcery: our whole means of expression (of agreed meanings) is semantical, an ambiguous method, whether conveying ideas, values, facts or fictions, which has ever-variant meanings to the recipient; there are few 'one to one' meanings of words. therefore, although it ...

Re: Aesthethic experience as a 'mini-me' of enlightenement?
Moderns and Art. we must own that the effect of their respective arguments, as usual with frenetic propaganda, is not to satisfy us with either, but to disatisfy us with both. neither side has much veracity in its conclusions - the usual jumping from half-truths into the uncertainties of generalisat...

by bert on Sun Dec 30, 2007 1:28 pm I would say that beauty alone reaches simplicity because it is basically 'economy'. envy over-adorns, paints, clothes and transferes to mode. the naked figure is a more truthful beauty: hence to marry a face is often to marry a fiction. our work and behaviour is t...
