Das Geheimnis der Einheit

Filed under: General — Tags: , , — m759 @ 11:13 pm

Thomas Mann on "the mystery of the unity"

Mann on Schopenhauer: Psychoanalysis and 'The Will'

"Denn um zu wiederholen, was ich anfangs sagte:
in dem Geheimnis der Einheit von Ich und Welt,
Sein und Geschehen, in der Durchschauung des
scheinbar Objectiven und Akzidentellen als
Veranstaltung der Seele glaube ich den innersten Kern
der analytischen Lehre zu erkennen." (GW IX 488)

An Einheit-Geheimnis  that is perhaps* more closely related
to pure mathematics** —

"What is the nature of the original unity
that throws itself apart in this separation,
and in what sense are the separated ones
here as the essence of the abyss? 

Here it cannot be a question of any kind of 'dialectic,' 
but only of the essence of the ground
(that is, of truth) itself." [Tr. by Google]

" Welcher Art ist die ursprüngliche Einheit,
daß sie sich in diese Scheidung auseinanderwirft,
und in welchem Sinn sind die Geschiedenen
hier als Wesung der Ab-gründigkeit gerade einig?
Hier kann es sich nicht um irgend eine »Dialektik«
handeln, sondern nur um die Wesung des Grundes
(der Wahrheit also) selbst."

Heidegger

Eins und Einheit

“The number one , then, has become Husserl’s touchstone
for discriminating between psychological processes and
logical laws. It is his reality detector. What is
psychological (or empirical) comes on in discrete
individual instances– ones– and you can examine their
edges. What is logical (or ideal) comes on as a
seamless oceanic unity  without temporal edges….”

— Marianne Sawicki, “Edmund Husserl (1859—1938),”

Topdot Art

Filed under: General — Tags: , — m759 @ 12:25 am

The new URL topdot.art  refers to depictions of
the top dot (or point, or vertex) in a vertex-edge diagram
of a square, cube, or hypercube that has been rotated
so that the bottom dot (or point, or vertex), represented by 
all-zero coordinates in a labeling, is at the bottom
and the top dot (or point, or vertex), represented by
all-one coordinates in a labeling, is at the top.

See (for instance) the Log24 post Physicality (Oct. 5, 2022).

Impenetrability Revisited

From a New York Times  obituary  online today —

“He was an absolutely brilliant reader
at taking what seemed to be the knots,
or the impenetrability, or the downright
insanity of a piece of writing, and just
saying, ‘Hey, guys, that’s the point.’”

Clarity and Certainty

“At the age of 12 I experienced a second wonder of a totally different nature: in a little book* dealing with Euclidean plane geometry, which came into my hands at the beginning of a schoolyear. Here were assertions, as for example the intersection of the three altitudes of a triangle in one point, which — though by no means evident — could nevertheless be proved with such certainty that any doubt appeared to be out of the question. This lucidity and certainty [Klarheit und Sicherheit] made an indescribable impression upon me….  For example I remember that an uncle told me the Pythagorean theorem before the holy geometry booklet* had come into my hands. After much effort I succeeded in ‘proving’ this theorem on the basis of the similarity of triangles … for anyone who experiences [these feelings] for the first time, it is marvellous enough that man is capable at all to reach such a degree of certainty and purity [Sicherheit und Reinheit] in pure thinking as the Greeks showed us for the first time to be possible in geometry.”

— from “Autobiographical Notes” in Albert Einstein: Philosopher-Scientist, edited by Paul Arthur Schilpp

“Although our intellect always longs for clarity and certainty, our nature often finds uncertainty fascinating.”

— Carl von Clausewitz at Quotes by Clausewitz

For clarity and certainty, consult All About Altitudes (and be sure to click the “pop it up” button).

For murkiness and uncertainty, consult The Fog of War.

Happy birthday, Albert.

* Einstein’s “holy geometry booklet” was, according to Banesh Hoffman, Lehrbuch der Geometrie zum Gebrauch an höheren Lehranstalten, by Eduard Heis (Catholic astronomer and textbook writer) and Thomas Joseph Eschweiler.
