INTRODUCTION

 
                                                   

In order to introduce Philosophy, firstly, one has to  b e  a Philosopher;
secondly, to be able to philosophize, one  must be able to think, must  e x i s t ;
 thirdly, to excel in Praxis  a n d   Theory, one must  t r a n s c e n d, 
must surpass the ordinary everyday grayness and has to ascend to the evergreen sublime, to enter the realm of Reason and Emancipation, thus, leaving all 
quagmires and cesspools behind, allowing  them to perish in-and-for-themselves.

The famous German philosopher, Hegel, did state that  "all that comes  into being merits that it perishes", "alles, was entsteht, ist wert, dass  es untergeht" ;  this is 
surely true for formal logical or dialectical Being.  Certainly, the above does not 
refer to Being  a n d  Existence  AND  Transcendence.

Not only the Gods are trimensional ; also We, You and I, are "divine" :  We  act 
a n d  think  AND  transcend. Acting is Cosmic, is Doing, is  Praxis. Thinking is Intellectual, is Existential, is Theory. Transcending  is Surpassing, is Excellence, is Emancipation. This Historic Trinity,  Essence  a n d  Existence  AND 
Transcendence, as Us, as You and I,  is the quintessence of what We understand 
as  Human Being.

But, We are not only Human Beings, We are not just passive actors on  a world 
stage. We also exist, We are thinking actors  a n d   exist as  active thinkers;  in 
nuce : We are Human Existences. Furthermore, We transcend ; moreover, We 
excel , We reason, We surpass as Human Transcendences.

Until now, the above human qualities, as a totality, were attributed to the  gods, 
were declared to be divine ; mutatis mutandis they form the very  essence of the Absolute Idea, of the World Spirit, of the Holy Trinity.  We do not deny this 
"absolute truth" ; We only state that We ourselves  form a Human Trinity, and 
much more.

To act like Us, to think like Us, and to excel like Us, presuppose  that We have 
been all along our lifes on our own trail, in our own  orbit, trying to historicize, to emancipate ourselves. For this We need  no recruiting, no conviction, no conscientization.

WE WILL CONTINUE WITH A GERMAN SERIES OF LECTURES NOW.

BELOW FOLLOW SOME KEYWORDS WHICH WE WILL USE 
THROUGHOUT ALL OUR LECTURES:



 
Philosophy
For us, Philosophy is not aristocratic: it is not the "queen of sciences",or the Warehouse of Absolute Truths, or the "ivory-tower of cool or small talk". In the 
same manner as Science is our Essence, similarly, Philosophy exists as our 
thinking and thought process. In this sense, to be Homosapiens, we have to exist 
as Homo philosophicus, and not be a primitive zoon politikon or a modern homo 
faber. More about our philosophical endeavours very soon
History
The rulers of this world like to call their dwelling-place "the fatherland","das 
Vaterland" or "la Patria" ; we have nothing against the act of calling someone or something names, as long as it ends there. Nonetheless, we are happy that the 
"master race" has identified for us its natural habitat and its social environment. 
We all know what the Patria is and that sometimes euphemistically it is called 
"History" . Our connotation of History has to do with the dialectical, better even, 
with the dialogical, much more better even, with the diagorical relation ("Bezug") 
of Nature a n d Society ; and surely not with its maltreated and perverted 
appearances, which form the very being of the Patria. Much more about this in 
future pages, right here in this section.
Emancipation

Certainly our understanding of the concept "Emancipation" has very little to do 
with the classic "Emancipation of the Slaves" or with the conventional "Women's 
Lib", even less with the "emancipatory" pipe- dreams of the "New Left", of the "Neo-Right" or the "Neo-Liberal". Our emancipatory human process is essentially rooted in our modus vivendi, in the Patria ; however, it exists beyond these formal-logical and ideological boundaries, and it transcends all "historical" utopias,enhancing anything that we ever could aspire, and which can never be 
realized on this godforlorn planet, in this "heart of a heartless world". In this 
section we will continue the discussion on this pertinent topic.

Essence

Essence is simply "What Is" , is "That What Is". This is generally known as Being,
for example, Human Essence is Human Being. Other familiar concepts for Essence are : esse, essentia, ousía, Wesen, Was, Washeit, Quidditas. Relevant is not the Word 
but the Thought which uses the Word as a Tool, as an Instrument to express itself. We are using the Percept (or Unigory, see later), usually known as "Concept", 
COSMOS to express Essence or Being. Essence is Being, Doing, Acting, Práxis, NATURE. Essence is Cosmic, but the COSMOS is not only essential ; as we will 
see later, it is much more than this.

Existence

Existence, as a Concept, is not THAT which is used in everyday formal- logical language, in phrases like "human existence", e.g., "my existence is threatened", 
which means that I am going to "rest in peace" pretty soon. It is a philosophical 
concept which denotes "That something exists", simply "that", in German "dass", 
that something exists at all, "dass etwas ueberhaupt existiert". Existence also is not 
"to be there", Dasein, in Space and Time. For us, it is the "other side" (not 
understood in spacial terms) of Essence, its opposite; both Essence a n d Existence form a Contradiction, better, a Diagory. Existence concerns Thinking, Thought, Quodditas, Theory, Philosophy, SOCIETY. We use the Greek term EINAI to 
mean Existence in the above sense ; its general meaning as "being, esse or sein" is included, but, as we have seen already, it exists much further than only simple 
being. Much more explanations to come.

Transcendence

The Transcept ( not Concept ) TRANSCENDENCE expresses surpassing, 
superating, excelling, "hinueberschreiten", that is, passing from one sphere to 
another. This is a philosophic transcept and it includes theological connotations, 
but it has no "divine" meanings. It has to do with Reasoning, with Reason, but it includes Doing and Thin king. This simply means that it excels as NEITHER ESSENCE NOR EXISTENCE, or expressed in another way, as Triagory, as 
Essence a nd Existence AND Transcendence, in nuce, as HISTORY. It is a 
Historic Transcept, and Emancipatory Triagory. More elucidation will follow.
