In one way it makes me think of the other thread and the damaging effects of the ego - it is like saying that we sense the time but it is not a part of our consciousness. I was thinking of other dimensions like multiple mind states at once with one mind state doing the acting - I guess a split personality.
I like what you said about the deflection through science - it tells me that you understand where I was coming from.
Hegel is reductive OR productive, ever which way. if taken in his Platonic sense. But Hegel was an optimist and Plato not. He thought the reductio led to nothingness.
Now the productio leads to where?
To somethingness?
Both positions are untenable so either one or the other position holds water.
Back to basics, or the bracketing of both, one or the other, or both.That’s why the dialectic is a myth. Myths are reductive into nothingness.ad absurdum.
Please let me clarify this position if the argument doesn’t work for you.
Plato probably saw this duality and maybe he meant by that that ideal concepts are bound-to fail, if approached from a strictly logical basis. He couldn’t spell it out, and Hegel realized this also, and for the sake of a reversal, he posited a progression. That it was torn down.is the proof in the pudding.
Yes , negation or the concept that negates two contrary propositions is reductive to Plato.Therefore it is a myth. As much of a myth as Hegel’s dialectic.
It dissent completely nihikate to nothingness or, does it reach a. absolute.
There is no eternal death of anything , there is only eternal life, eternal death is again a contradiction in terms where life and death do not cancel out each other, they merely reinstate an eternal duality. A duality which may nominally be said to be indistinguishable.
Both the Beginning and the End of the universe stories are myth. There was no Big Bang and there will be no Heat Death.
Welcome to psychological manipulation of the population.
Also, all sand castles will be rebuilt … eventually.
Infant child like dreams of immortality with dreams of grandeur to live like gods. An inability to understand or overstate the limitations of the world and the human condition.
The universe is infinite. There is always an Earth somewhere. There are always beaches. There are always people building sandcastles. Always. Eternally.
