Plato admits that the state of ‘a corpse or a stone’ (Grg. 494b) is also hedonically neutral. (cf neither 1:05:46 nor 1:07:12, the inverted) We must, apparently, first take up memory, and perception even before memory, if these matters are to be made clear to us properly.

(1:16:25) The surprising fact, NEUTRALITY, is observed; But if “ἀοχλησία, ἀθαμβία, ἀκαταπληξία, ἀταραξία, ἀπροσπτωσία, ἀπάθεια, περὶ ἀλυπίας ἡσυχία” (nuisance, civility, surprise, turbulence, unexpectedness, apathy, about mercy, .. ,) were true, C would be a matter of course, Hence, there is reason to suspect that A is true. First, then, let us agree on this point: If it is true, 32e as we said, that destruction is pain and restoration is pleasure, let us consider the case of living beings in which neither destruction nor restoration is going on, (8:46) and what their state is under such conditions.

The neutrality of the university as an institution arises then neither from a lack of courage nor out of indifference and insensitivity. It arises out of respect for free inquiry and the obligation to cherish a diversity of viewpoints. For instance: “Speak boldly, Jane!!” (19:55, 15:30) The master, however, is the power controlling this state of existence.. .. (10:48) The first single statement-making sentence is the affirmation, next is the negation. The others are single in virtue of a connective. But the goal of philosophy is to banish indifference and to understand the necessity of things, so that the other appears standing over against its other.
