#dialectics

[athousandgateaux]

It is reactive forces that express themselves in opposition, the will to nothingness that expresses itself in the labour of the negative. The dialectic is the natural ideology of ressentiment and bad conscience. It is thought in the perspective of nihilism and from the standpoint of reactive forces. It is a fundamentally Christian way of thinking, from one end to the other; powerless to create new ways of thinking and feeling. The death of God is a grand, noisy, dialectical event; but an event which happens in the din of reactive forces and the fumes of nihilism.

--Gilles Deleuze, Nietzsche and Philosophy, pg. 159

Wickedness also resides in the gaze that perceives itself as innocent and surrounded by wickedness.

Japanese thoughts and philosophies are small. (Essay)

Kitaro Nishida

Kitaro Nishida is probably the most famous Japanese philosopher. Using his experience with Zen as the core, he sought to fuse Buddhist doctrine with Western philosophy. He tried to absorb Western philosophy by using the special religious experience of Zen.

He said, if it can't explain this kind of religious experience, it's not philosophy. However, shouldn't religion and philosophy be clearly distinguished? I don't think it's good to confuse the two.

However, a common theme between Buddhist doctrine and Western philosophy is the ``Law of Excluded Middle.'' The basic attitude of Western philosophy is that it is impossible to be "A and not A," but Buddhist doctrine holds that it is possible to be "A and not A."  Therefore, Kitaro Nishida and his friend Daisetsu Suzuki follow the Buddhist theory that ``A is not A, and therefore it is exactly A.'' I think this is sophistry.

Rather, isn't the thesis that in Western philosophy's ``dialectics'' at the end of the contradiction between A and not A, ``B, which is neither A nor not A, is born'' more straightforward? The law of excluded middle can also be overcome from within Western philosophy.

Kitaro Nishida's philosophy attempted to fuse Buddhist doctrine and Western philosophy, but it ended up being a miserly failure, and I believe that he ended up simply compromising the two. Japanese thoughts and philosophies have their limits, and it is impossible to create great ideas that will be accepted worldwide.

日本の思想と哲学は、小振りである。（エッセイ）

日本人の哲学者として、たぶん最も有名なのは西田幾多郎だろう。彼は禅を体験した経験を核として、仏教の教理と西洋哲学を融合させようとした。禅という特殊な宗教体験を以って、西洋哲学を併呑しようとしたのだ。

この種の宗教体験を説明できなければ、哲学ではないという勢いだ。しかし、宗教と哲学は峻別すべきではないだろうか。両者の混同は宜しくないと、私は思う。

ただ、仏教の教理と西洋哲学に共通する切実なテーマは「排中律」であろう。「Aであって、非Aである」ことはありえないというのが西洋哲学の基本的態度であるが、仏教の教理では「Aであって、非Aである」ことがあり得る、とされる。そこで西田幾多郎と友人の��木大拙は「Ａは非Ａであり、それによってまさにＡである」という仏典の説に則る。私は、これは詭弁だと思う。

むしろ西洋哲学における「弁証法」で、Ａ、非Ａの矛盾の果てに「Ａでも非Ａでもない別のＢが生まれる」というテーゼのほうがずいぶん素直ではないか。排中律は、西洋哲学の内部からでも克服できる。

西田幾多郎の哲学は、仏教の教理と西洋哲学を融合させようとしたが、それは無残な失敗に帰し、単に両者を折衷しただけに終わっていると考える。日本の思想や哲学には限界があり、世界に通用する大思想は生み出せないのだ。

Clair Vaux Bernardus said: "oh. I'm one, yet many."

If she had read Marx saying: "the concrete is concrete because it is the concentration of many determinations." Instead, she would've said:

"oh. I'm one concrete, yet concentration of many determinations."

Western capitalism is an absurd ideology. It isn’t cohesive. You can counter every pro-capitalist argument with another pro-capitalist argument. It eats itself. All of this technology would’ve been made either way.

Ouroboros.

Adapted from an experimental Twitter thread I made when I was in the middle of my bender: Big issue with a lot of Stirner scholarship - it seems to take for granted that Stirner used Hegelian structures to advance an anti-Hegelian point. But I would say that Stirner is not an anti-Hegelian, but a post-Hegelian. You could almost call him a super-Hegelian in that he superseded categories Hegel never seriously questioned using the latter's own dialectical method. As Osugi Sakae said, Hegel was a reactionary with a revolutionary philosophy, but Stirner was the only one to wield the razor-sharp blade of the dialectic to its most revolutionary end. Feuerbach tore down God and set up Man; the teacher from Berlin tore down God, Man, and every other social and political spook.

Hamannian Hermeneutics: The Marriage of Reason & Faith (or: ‘the Letter & the Spirit’)

The Birth of the Milky Way (1636–1638) by Peter Paul Rubens “Reason is the source of all truth and of all errors. It is the tree of knowledge of good and evil. Therefore, both parties are right and wrong which deify it and which vilify it. Faith, likewise, is the source of unbelief and of superstition. ‘Out of the same mouth proceed blessing and cursing’”—J. G. Hamann, 1787 Intuition, in the…
