'being' being an act of sorts, infers motion, which infers change. — Shamshir
You're basing your understanding of change on motion. But where do we get our idea of motion from? — Joshs
Existence without motion is unthinkable and motion is unthinkable sub specie aeterni. Leaving out motion is not exactly the cleverest of moves, and introducing it into logic as transition, and with it time and space, is only a new confusion. But in so far as all thought is eternal, the difficulty is one for the one who exists. Existence, like motion, is a very difficult matter to deal with. If I think it, I do away with it, and then do not think it. — Concluding Unscientific Postscript, Kierkegaard, p258
Existence without motion is unthinkable — Kierkegaard
Dammit Mr.Kirk! Never been near a Black Hole with Mr.Spock? — I like sushi
If what I say is true, it is true.You may be the only one in the known universe who has thought these thoughts. But don't despair. Others will follow. — Joshs
Understandably, one would compare thought to the paused frame of a movie; yet it is aptly more than that. It is, for lack of a better analogy, walking on a treadmill. There appears no motion, yet there is motion.Thought is the dialectical negative. It freezes motion in it's a straction, but does not stop motion in existence. — Merkwurdichliebe
You only regard it as such because you are reflecting, and not considering the dialectal framework which was adopted by those who were accused of being existentialists.
Seriously, what do you seem to think I’ve done? What am I ‘reflecting’ on, but not ‘considering’? What precisely is the difference you’re implying between ‘reflecting’ and ‘considering’? Is it simply that you see me staring at my own beautiful reflection rather than asking others about what they see, or that I’m ignoring the mirror entranced, as I am, by my own image (and who can blame be! Such a sight to behold ... oops! Too much coffee today methinks!)
Anyway, just cracked open B&T and I have an hour for lunch ... — I like sushi
You'd be surprised at how varied the philosophical understanding of concepts like change, time and difference has been . Take the idea of motion. — Josh
Temporality is the well-spring out of which Dasein as Being in the world emerges. Temporality is 'simultaneously' of 3 ecstacies. The past as 'having been', the presencing, and future. Dasein "occurs out of its future"."Da-sein, as existing, always already comes toward itself, that is, is futural in its being in general." "Only because Da-sein in general IS as I AM-having-been, can it come futurally toward itself in such a way that it comes-back." Thus, "Having been arises from the future".
Being is structurally articulated within itself as the 3 ecstacies. Being is ahead of itself as itself, as the 'not yet', it projects, anticipates, as fore-having, fore-structuring. It is transcendence. It is also, as attunement, thrownness, Being as 'being affected by'. "What is projected , fore-given, has thecharacter of possibility." "World gives itself to Dasein in each case as the respective whole of its"for the sake of itself," i.e., for the sake of a being that is equi-originarily being alongside . . .what is present at hand, being with . . . the Dasein of others, and being toward . . . itself(noticethat this is not a progress. It is the hermeneutic circle)" — Josh
