Ur wrong, forgive the flow of Your ideas for a moment, but was distracted momentarily to Iambig’s train of thought, but hope to incorporate your comments after the following completion of the prior.
What does the above, indication to You, Iambiguous signal, insofar as it having bearing on the existential dilemmas above mentioned?
That the drama, the tragedy consists of the contemoranious impress of an elemental perceived
difference between the proponent and the Chorus.
This has immense significance up until the 1960’s liberal policies, as has been pointed out, in a well thumbed book aptly titled, ‘The One Dimensional
Man’. It is a patent observation observing the effects
rather then the dynamics of the tragedy of the dimunition of class consciousness. The muteness of observation derives from the earliest perceptions of a
dramatic hope for a catharsis not achievable, because
the early dialogues continued into modernity to be staged from this either/or scenario. There can never be consensus, because the positing of the set stage,
(and it may very well permit a wider applications of
the word ‘set’ , as a triplex, meaning both in the mathematical, ((Cantor)), in the adverbial, and in the theatrical sense; mainly because if only to show the
underlying ambiguity evolving into the kind of myth,
which later on, became fodder for modern thinkers.
The Cogito , ergo Sum, developed into a quasi
religious judgment, implying moral , Chorus like
judgement, for instance, ‘I-Thou’, by Buber. Wether such religious overtones are justified or not, is another question, but let that hang for the moment.
This escape into the ‘Otherness’, of your own vocabulary, presents a sort of hidden antithesis to the
basic thesis of the foundation of Greek Tragedy, a
sought after exit place from which the leap can be made into good faith. Is this justified, from the level of a one dimensional perception?
probably not , this type of leap is an impersonal leap pushed along by an untrustworthy God, who has yet
to abdicate his misplaced sense of his position in Walhalla.
What seems here happening, is the favorite point of
values, pegging political, social and Freudian
economy to a fixed and immutable position. So , that is the point at which I agree with Your Nihilistic approach, of perceiving an imminence, nihilizing a
transcendence, so unpopular nowadays, as much as
the fixated view of the appearent anathema of the circularity of Saint Anselm, whereas suspecting his circularity as not one dimensional, but three.
Now comes the panic. And among the triad of
economies, Freud’s may be the most pertinent, and
possibly most hands on. Although it was dismissed, the dismissal came from within a context of a need for a more figurative visualization , within its own
meaning structure.
But as far as positivism goes, as a reaction to a vastly reduced phenomenology, of loosing much of
the a priori linkages within the phenomenological
gestalt, -implying wider contextual applications,- the peg, the idea fixee signifies the eidectic fix, of holding on to an ideal structural assessment , unable to re-
set into the totality as more complete ideal.
That this is the crux of the argument, between the analytic, and the synthetic, as between Trump’s
willful insistence on a retrograde reality, with implicit
ideals now lost to most except with those having opportune prevy to it, is lost to the Chorus of promoters. They merely harangue the ancient
trumpet call for a return to an ideal world, no longer
accessible. The gods are still at Walhalla, they are after all, immortals to be reckoned with, even though they are members of a vanishing aristocracy,
phenomenally broke, yet not giving up their eidectic
shadow world.
What of, then the leap from a no exit type of
description? A leap into a Nothingness, from Being
full of the ideals/ideas , but of which no one presumes to need to know much more then the gleanings of glitter, and the unmistakable
consequential draw it
effects as a primitive reactionary artifact?
So what of the leap, which by all accounts, needs to be made, if sanity is at all valued, as if the gods
commanding this, Themselves are to preserve their
own perceived sanity?
The only solution to this sane\insane choice of doing
this or that, is, again, the unpopular and vague resort
to Freudian economy, by a reversal of sought after values lost, in terms of what the ideal represents in toto, as in the beginning Socrates tried to herald in
the emerging separation of the soul, between
Aristoteles and Plato. I think a lot can be found in the former’s ’ Di Anima’, and with this in mind, look forward to reading it, at least in part.
The leap in the archaic contexts, have to be assessed, so that the flow of contextual linkage may
bring to light an inkling of a point of inception
regarding motive and expectation.
