AESTHETICS
(
physiognomy of the aesthetic knowledge: reality mirrored by our senses )
Re-vealing. Is it surprising that to unveil it is necessary to re-veal*? * (in italian: s-vela = un-veil; ri-vela = re-veal = re-veil)
Ego and “God”. How can you know the whole without becoming it? EgoD.
Being and becoming. Can man, the biproduct of a cosmic cloud, be something more substancial than the cloud itself?
Apparent truth. Just as the object is an apparition, so is the knowledge appearing from it.
On divinity. What can be more divine* than the stars and the sun? Yet they too become, are born and will pass. * (from latin=shining)
Philosophical flaws. Any philosophy that is not able to explain the most insignificant or repellent things in life, too, is in itself a trick.
Paradoxical truth. The paradox is paradoxical only for the old truth that it replaces.
The paradox. "The knowledge that we do not know". The only hypothetical knowledge granted to Man.
On participation. The whole is one, yet each participates in it in his own way.
Final revelations. Once he has unveiled all the paradoxical mysteries of the Cosmos, Man will reveal the essence of his own mysterious fate.
Scientific errors. The error of science is not so much in the laws discovered, as in the lack of direction of those who apply them: in their own failure to see the whole in each of its own parts.
Points of view. Subjectivity is not so much an error as an inferior point of view.
Spectroscopy of knowledge. Modern astronomy is undoubtedly glaring proof: knowledge is light, and from the study of it knowledge comes to us.
Hegelianism's v.c. "... and just thinking about his own thought ..." a dog began one day chasing his own tail. (v.c. = vicious circle)
Transcendental aesthetics. From the magic of astrology to the science of astronomy: man has read, and still reads the cosmos, looking to unlock the mystery of his own pre-scribed fate.
Retroactivity. If the law of creation did not re-create itself, could we none the less call it by that name?
The part and the whole. Each part, by realizing its own essence, plays its own part in realizing the whole.
Multiverse. The "beyond" is in fact another cosmic world: upon some lost planet light years away from our trivial place.
Apparent truth. Error does not exist except as partial truth: bound by the physiognomic capacity of the observer.
Mental pathology. The "beyond" and the spirit could only come about in the land of mirages, thus always remaining connected: to thirst, optical illusions, physiological imbalances.
Apparent truth. Appearance and existence are one and the same, for that which exists, appears. Therefore, in so far as it appears, appearance and truth coincide.
Of prophesy. Isn't a prophet someone who, in every field of knowledge, is able with more vision to penetrate the law that governs becoming?
Of becoming. In becoming, being passes from potentiality (potential possibility) to reality by realizing itself in the modes or laws of existence. A game, because it is in playing that potentiality is expressed, its only objective being to "re-create" itself.
Potentiality and actuality. Nought in potentiality is non-being* in actuality. *(in italian: non-essere = not to be and/or non being)
Transcendental aesthetics. Matter is merely the name chosen by Man for the definition of an aesthetically ordered (transcendental idea) of qualities perceptible to the human senses: the principal mental category of practical life.
Historical perspectives. Time, which Man perceives as being linear in the brief span of time available to him, could very well be circular.
Historical perspectives. Just as curved space seems to Man to be flat, in the same way the cosmic law seems to us, in a short span of time, to be rational, too.
Centering the shapeless. Since the void does not exist: can the universe display any form? That's why its centre is consequently at every point of its own space.
Infinite limits. As it has no beginning and no end, may the circle be the infinite in itself?
Heraclitus’ logic. And what if one day we discover that the solution to existence is precisely the non-solution itself?
Transcendental aesthetics. “Man is the measure of all things”, since our essence is the substance itself “appearing” in reality.
The rules of the game. Just like play is re-creation, thus the paradox (pun) re-creates the aesthetic rule by which the universe one day came into existence.
Heraclitus’ logic. Paradox, law of the “included middle”*, is the coexistential contradictory of becoming nature. *(opposite of Aristotle law of an excluded middle)
Empty abstractions. Just like rain is the shape taken by a storm, but prior to it does not exist, thus space and time are the shapes taken by the universe in action: they are born with it. Emptiness, therefore is the empty horsiness of our mind.
The whole and its own parts. If for the whole everything is good, it is not quite so for each of its own parts.
Meta-physics*. What is metaphysics, if not a transcendental physical aim, the layman’s substitute for the Christian “beyond”? *(in italian: meta = aim / meta fisica = physical aim / metafisica = metaphysics)
On mysticism of reason*. Truth and knowledge are subjected to the “vital passion”* in that true knowledge, the physiognomic health of the being, is that “heroic furor”* itself. *(as in Giordano Bruno)
The whole and its own parts. If substance is joining everything within it, essence divides us into its various ways of being.
Physiognomy. Prophecy and divination are the magic form of what at scientific level took on the name of physiognomy.
Empty abstractions. The belief in emptiness is born from the abstraction of special space-place; and just like horsiness does not exist, thus emptiness if it is not a space-time place.
Apparent objectivity. Objective is not so much the impersonal man, as he who has a greater physiognomic capability in recognizing the appearance in the morphology of reality.
Psychosophy. To explain the world by doubling it is to double the difficulties; to exchange the rising tension of life, the idea of our future being, in order not to be in the beyond.
Fantastic universal*. Is saying “Zeus was generated” tantamount as saying that potentiality too is re-created by the very same potentiality in action? *(as in GB Vico)
Mortal equivalences. As in sleep so in death man returns to the potentiality of the cosmic whole. To then return on waking up to the individual who more or less identifies the cosmic actuality itself.
N-ontology. To derive the existence of God by logic, means to lead to the extreme consequences the virtues of a disputable cognitive tool and therefore not demonstrate his existence but rather only the limits of this human tool.
On the kaleidoscope. About the universe the only true thing we can say is that it forms and transforms in time: transcending itself to its entelechy (its meta-physics in action). An ex-istence* from nothing and return into nothing according to the order of its own time. *( from latin=coming out, appearing)
Transcendental aesthetics. Substance is the interpretation that we give to reality through the actuation of one of its own ways of being, namely our essence. Essence which by more or less identifying the cosmic actuality itself determines a greater or lesser physiognomic capability in the resonance of the cosmic law.
Optical illusions. What if the cosmic expansion, as in a kaleidoscope, were only an optical illusion of space in evolution (formation-transformation) in time equivalent to it?
Transcendental aesthetics. Substance (1) in actuality (2), if considered from the point of view of extension is space (astronomy), time if considered from the point of view of becoming being: its finite but not final Cosmological Entelechy. (1) potentiality - structural potentiality; 2) space-time energy)
Transcendental aesthetics. That which our senses perceive: color, shape, weight, smell, …materiality, are nothing but qualities of the extension.
On meta-physics. Meta-physics, in order not to become ridiculous, should only serve as a transcendental physical goal; only by overcoming it would potential metaphysics become meta-physics in action.
Transcendental ideas. If daltonism today is an eyesight defect but perhaps was not so in a previous era then, contrary to Aristotle, every thing can be and not be simultaneously.
On nothingness. It is emptiness - the equivocal abstraction of the five human senses - the quintessence of matter in which potentiality appears to the sixth sense.
Space time. Space* becomes (takes form and transforms) in time equivalent to it. *(the universe and everything in it - becomes not in emptiness (abstraction) but in time to which it is equivalent)
Apparent logic. If to describe the aesthetic law of the universe, as already done by Heraclitus, one must use a paradox, perhaps it is because it seems in order: on a small space-time scale more suitable to our senses and intellect from the scale of which both derive and from which life depends; or as a temporary synchronism of disorder.
Free need. The current universe, rather than being the best, is the only world possible: a free product of the intrinsic need of becoming. (The law of becoming is free, it being determined only by the intrinsic creative need of its own nature).
Entelechy. If “matter generates forms”*, then is the Being the maximum and accomplished form of its own existence? *(as in Giordano Bruno)
Psychosophy. Being is… the mental category of the accomplished status. (Entelechy)
The philosopher’s stone. Philosophical knowledge is to know how to bring together the various scientific laws - complementary physiognomies of the effectual reality - into a unique law of actuation of becoming from its own potential being.
Physiognomy of knowledge. From ancient Upanishads to Confucius, the classical Greece, the Renaissance man, the purpose of knowledge was the same: to define the common substance of things (brahma, Tao, principle, energy) from which everything derives and to which everything returns establishing, through the physiognomic study of reality, the law of its cyclic becoming of which everything is a part (atma, Te, areté-daemon*, virtue). *(as in Heraclitus)
To conceive. What is usually called emptiness is not nothingness (structural potentiality, potentiality) but rather a space-time abstraction.
Transcendental ideas. Every mode of being of substance in potentiality is as such in-finite and therefore finished by its actuality.
Transcendental ideas. Being in potentiality is existence in actuality, substance and essence of its formal aesthetic law.
Being and becoming. Being and non Being in potential nothingness* are the same thing. Only by coming into existence Being is, inasmuch as it is not anything else. Therefore nothingness becomes inasmuch and by as much as it is but does not exist.*(potential nothingness = to be the non being or being the non being; because in italian to be = to be and/or being)
Made to measure. If up to yesterday the human solid and concrete conception of material substance was valid because it was confirmed by our senses and use, today this is no longer true, due to the sophisticated senses and use of advanced technology.
Kinetic illusions. As in navigation one can still consider the earth as center of the universe, thus in common scientific practice not so much the formation and transformation of space in time but rather its most consequential optical illusion: motion.
Transcendental ideas. Matter is the main apparent quality of the aesthetic actuation of reality, a mental category of practical life joining within it all of the other sensitive qualities.
Primitive physiognomy. Ingenuous infancy of physiognomy, the illogical logic of Aristotelism.
Transcendental ideas. An idea substantially does not exist but as an in-finite* way of being, and therefore requires reality to be able to actuate itself transcendentally. *(not finite, potential)
Existence in action. What other solution should existence have but that to exist?
