And it's definitely and deliberately skewed to make people keep on swiping as not as proof of how lame the apps are, but as a proof of how cool and emancipated they are, all the potential matches and dates should almost me your head dizzy of thought how free you are to choose. That is precisely what a negative liberal concept of freedom is. There is no obvious barrier for you to get a million girls, the tinder is your oyster to crack.

I think the thought of evil and good fading has more to do with chaos theory as the thought of these might have become tiring and the drive for new ideas pushes out new things this time the trend may be this is fading, but i can’t see anything good coming out the conceptionof evil or good fading, since if it seems to work logically on a trained mind, but on the level of a consensus i feel as this just doesn’t work or is extreme difficult in getting it to work in a thought experiment if it became a consensus, but this is merely a reaction or a possible impulse on my end to respond, which might aswell be incorrect on my end.

What's wrong with seeing all as one whole? Did not Hegel see it this way as wel?? Alienated humanity, chaos, order, beauty, paradise, fall from paradise, evil, perception of evil? Are they all not inseperable parts of one whole which we could 'nature?'
@julianphilosophy Күн бұрын
Very fair question! It helps to see how Hegel was responding to Schelling’s “Naturphilosophie”, which he accused of idealizing and mystifying nature as the absolute. Against this Hegel argued for a nature/absolute that is always already split from within by the subject/particular. It’s a bit ironic that Hegel is often depicted as a mystical thinker of the absolute, as this was precisely what he couldn’t stomach about the German romantics. (He mocks them by saying that their philosophy claims that “at night all cows are black”) To me, any idealization of nature that argues for a “return” to the natural world is always ideologically suspect. Remember that many reactionary arguments (including anti-Semitic) follow the same logic of “it’s unnatural”. Hence, to me, why there’s a bit of a pipeline between Gaia-earth esotericism and the alt-right. Of course, and this should go without saying, being aware of the detrimental impact of humans on nature, and fighting for preservation and ecological justice is key. My own belief is that the first step towards this is precisely to reject the idealization of nature as a “mother-earth” figure. As Žižek argues, in his more vulgar way, “if Mother nature is a mother, then she is a b*tch of a mother.”

@@julianphilosophy I think I understand and agree with you. The wholeness, i. e. unity of all that exists AND seperateness between all entities such as the subject always-already form a wholeness, a unity which we could call nature/absolute. This nature/absolute is not a reality beyond this plane from which we fell and have to return to. It is always-already present right here and now, it is never not present. It is us. Maybe this is a way too mystical way of thinking than you originally meant. But this way of thinking helps me realize; do not try to escape to a higher reality from which you fell, you are always-already in that "higher" reality. So if ecological justice is needed, perform to it, instead of saying; oh no this is the illusionary material lower plane in a rank of higher spiritual hierachy, it doesn't matter! No the true "spiritual" is in the "material!"

A piece of art is just an inanimate thing. Its creator might make it with the intention to communicate a message, but the fact that so many works have famously been interpretted in ways opposed to their creator's intentions seems to be evidence that there is no way for a piece of art to have an inherent message of its own. I could be wrong though. Why do you think art must have a message?

@@rama_lama_ding_dong I see. I think our disagreement is about the locus of the message, so to speak. I was thinking that to "have" a message an artwork would need to own, or possess, its message. It would need to be a signifier directly tied to what it signifies in such a way that precludes, or at least invalidates, other signifieds that an audience member might try to apply to it. Which doesn't seem to be how art is. But you are saying that simply being a signifier is inherent to a piece of art. That artworks have such powerful potential as signifiers that, when observed, one will inevitably signify something, regardless of what that particular message is to that particular observer. Am I understanding that right?

It's function is so robust that it must reset to be prepared for the vast and varied experiences that activate it. Hilariously, I do think his answer is still pretty close. Psychoanalysis along with some relevant education can help ameliorate this, having goals you can't accomplish within your lifetime can also help.

There's a quote in the book that i found to be absolutely the heart of the first book upon re-reading it. Hearing your identification of the Ring as a fetish object makes it clearer, but i think the quote indicates something additional, maybe even more apt for a psychoanalytic reading. For context, Frodo is sitting on the seat of the kings at Amon Hen when he slips on the Ring: And suddenly he felt the Eye. There was an eye in the Dark Tower that did not sleep. He knew that it had become aware of his gaze. A fierce eager will was there. It leaped towards him; almost like a finger he felt it, searching for him. Very soon it would nail him down, know just exactly where he was. Amon Lhaw it touched. It glanced upon Tol Brandir he threw himself from the seat, crouching, covering his head with his gray hood. He heard himself crying out: Never, never! Or was it: Verily I come, I come to you? He could not tell. Then as a flash from some other point of power there came to his mind another thought: Take it off! Take it off! Fool, take it off! Take off the Ring! The two powers strove in him. For a moment, perfectly balanced between their piercing points, he writhed, tormented. Suddenly he was aware of himself again. Frodo, neither the Voice nor the Eye: free to choose, and with one remaining instant in which to do so. He took the Ring off his finger. He was kneeling in clear sunlight before the high seat. A black shadow seemed to pass like an arm above him; it missed Amon Hen and groped out west, and faded. Then all the sky was clean and blue and birds sang in every tree. Frodo rose to his feet. A great weariness was on him, but his will was firm and his heart lighter. He spoke aloud to himself. `I will do now what I must,' he said. 'This at least is plain: the evil of the Ring is already at work even in the Company, and the Ring must leave them before it does more harm. I will go alone. Some I cannot trust, and those I can trust are too dear to me: poor old Sam, and Merry and Pippin. Strider, too: his heart yearns for Minas Tirith, and he will be needed there, now Boromir has fallen into evil. I will go alone. At once.' So to me this smacks of the Kantian ethical imperative, where Frodo is struggling between the exterior ethical framework (The Voice) of what he knows he ought to do, and the appealing drive of succumbing to a temptation (The Eye). But Tolkien beautifully illustrates that neither force wins out or convinces him Rather it is that Frodo becomes aware of himself, and he realises what he must do because he feels he doesn't have a choice, much like Kant's theory of ethical imperatives. "Free to choose, and with one remaining instant in which to do so." By specifying the decision as instantaneous, it is clear that there is no weighing of pros/cons, but rather an essentially instinctive choice made when he is in touch with himself as a free being, unbound to any super-ego ideals. Yet it is precisely at that point that he enslaves himself to carrying out the task to completion. I don't think the movie captured that moment at all well enough, but it was serviceable considering it could be one of the least filmable sequences in cinema. I would be very interested to know anyone else's thoughts and interpretations of this scene in the book, and whether the movie conveys the same idea.
@EarlofSedgewick 2 күн бұрын
Like, The Eye as a symbol of desire is perfect. "Anxiety is the uncertainty that comes from not knowing the desire of the Other", and having Sauron be an Eye which you can feel watching you sums that up really well. Boromir watches Frodo with increasing intensity and frequency in both the book and the movie, showing again how the gaze provokes that response and leads to desperation. That the Voice would be the counterpoint to the Eye also makes sense, although I don't know if I could put it into psychoanalytic terms. But I do love that it is painted as being qualitatively the same as The Eye - a disembodied power, its separateness no more reassuring than any other exterior authority. It's only when Frodo returns to himself, when he realises his own sovereignty that he is able to choose, and chooses based seemingly upon the concept of retaining the integrity of his Self. There's also much less of an emphasis on Sam's contributions, which, if I'm correct, is something that Peter Jackson injected into the film, whereas in the books Sam is more gradually is revealed to be a heroic figure in his own right.
