Fri, 17 May 2013 10:13:00 -0400

If, for example, the proposition is advanced that the Perfect is the Imperfect, it signifies: the Imperfect exists not by means of those attributes in and through which it is Imperfect, but by means of the Perfection which it contains. … Or take the proposition: the Good is Evil – by which is meant: Evil has no power to exist in itself; that which is real in it, considered in itself, is good. …

Schelling, Freiheitsschrift (VII, 341)

Notes:

’S is P’ does not mean S=P, but rather that S is, and is P’.

P exists only in so much as it is grounded in S, and the law of antecedence dictates that “…the derived cannot transform into the original” [VII:341]

“…the sum of all individual things cannot constitute God…since no combination can transform that which is by nature derived into that which is by nature original, just as all the points on a circumference | taken together can constitute the whole since the latter by its very definition necessarily precedes them”

Schelling, Freiheitsschrift. VII, 340

Schelling on Spinoza's Pantheism.

Fri, 17 May 2013 08:20:00 -0400

Critique of Pantheism: a “general misunderstanding of the law of identity…”

Definition #1: Law of the Unconditioned.

“Pantheism is the only system of reason but is inevitably fatalism” (VII, 338)

“…imanance of all things in God” (VII, 339)

“absolute causal power in one being leaves nothing but unconditional passivity in all of the rest” (VII, 399)

Definition #2

“Total Identification of God with all things, a confusion of creature and creator” (VII, 340)

“God as the Sum of all things.” (VII, 340)

Notes: Schelling Rejects Spinoza’s pantheism on the grounds of fatalism (the law of the unconditioned) and the elimination of individuality (Law of Antecedence).However he maintains the dependence of all of things on the that from which they derive.“no kind of combination can transform that which is by nature derived into that which is by nature original.” (VII, 340)

“126. The conceptual necessity of the experience through which consciousness discovers that the Thing is demolished by the very determinateness that constitutes its essence and in being-for-self, can be summarized as follows. The Thing is posited as being for itself, or as the absolute negation of all otherness, therefore as purely self-related negation; but the negation that is self-related is the suspension of itself; in other words, the Thing has its essential being in another Thing.”

- G. W. F. Hegel, Phenomenology of Spirit

“

If you tell her she’s beautiful, she’ll think you’re sweet, but she won’t believe you. She knows that beauty lies in your beholding…

But there’s a better way. You show her she is beautiful. You make mirrors of your eyes, prayers of your hands against her body. It is hard, very hard, but when she truly believes you… Suddenly the story she tells herself in her own head changes. She transforms. She isn’t seen as beautiful. She is beautiful, seen.

”

- Patrick Rothfuss, The Name of the Wind (via voirmoi)

Agreed.

Rothfuss has one hell of a way with words.

“oh please, i haven’t had an orgy in ages
they are so fun”

- my friend.

in ages. What goes on so radically differntly between two lives that I have had no contact with any orgies and my friend “hasn’t had one in a while” ?

They sound exhausting.

What are you saying?! I'm a Materialist, of course i don't believe in minds, i believe in souls!
