Corpses and other philosophical objects

Anthropology has taught us that early hunter groups burials not only aimed at fabulous trips to other worlds but that they also obeyed to a definite and prosaic fear of the deceased, especially when it was the corpse of a Chieftain or warrior that everyone knew to be of bad temper. They put stones upon the corpse in order to immobilize it and avoid unpleasant visits at night claiming its favorite toys or wives. In this sense, pyramids represent the greatest achievement in anti-zombie technology, disguised as the macro ego-trip of a deluded human being.
Analogously, philosophy has tried to bury the corpse of the metaphysics of the King-God under thousand rocks, but the resilient body keeps coming back to life, annoyingly, embarrassing the philosophical family like a poor and ugly distant relative which appears in the middle of an epistemological party. For the scientific community, the smell is unbearable, though they seem to ignore the annoyance when the mummy presents itself in the party as one of the few chosen priests of the universal law: Isaac, Albert…

The pantheons of philosophy have become the place for field work. Midway between forensic and embalming sciences philosophy feeds on itself, thus reproducing a reification game of transcendental objects which blocks the way for the development of an onto-epistemology based in the human law that at the same time extends into the realm of life. But a wonderful paradox awaits for any adventurous philosophy which steps out of the graveyard looking for fresh air: the transformation of philosophy into natural science only partially buries the corpses of the King-Gods, for in the modern world science has not the liminal character of philosophy, instead, it is central to the mythical axes of Western society, and the proper practice of science requires from the thinker a compulsory belief in Santa Claus, i.e. the naïve psychological constitution of a five year old, otherwise the King will not invest him/her with the wisdom of a Nobel Prize.

Limen et Continuum

  Existence is Encounter. Meeting at the limen. In the limen, the masks disappear, that is, the basic intuitions of identities, such as the identity that I feel and think in relation to the tree that I see in front of me. The identity of the tree is a projection of mine: the unity of my process of perceiving the tree generates a mask in me, the ghost of a limited unity separated from everything else. The simplest form of intuitive understanding of masks and limen is given to us by numbers. Numbers intuitively express the liminal tension that is Existence. A little etymological note. Rythmos in Greek means flow. Arythmos (number) is what does not flow, what remains solidified. Numbers express the liminoid, and flow, rhythm, expresses the liminal. A rhythm becomes liminoid when we can trace patterns in it, that is, when we can construct masks of identities. Mathematics has spoken of flow using the Latin word “continuum”, the continuous. All modern science, since Leibni...

Rhapsodies of Anima Mundi: Fear of Death

In the nascent dawn of consciousness, when the human spirit still danced in rhythmic harmony with the grand, elemental pulse of nature, the enigma of cessation—that profound silence we name death—arose as the most formidable of shadows. Yet, it was not then perceived as an absolute, terminal end in the stark, isolated sense we often conceive today. For those early societies, intimately imbricated in the vast and primordial canvas of the Anima Mundi, death was seamlessly woven into the very ur-tapestry of existence as a continuity, a fluid dissolution into the great soul of the world, or a joyous return to a collective paradise, utterly devoid of the strict, solitary individuation that modernity has, unwittingly, imposed upon us. This is not merely the clinical apprehension of biological cessation, but rather a primordial panic before the void, a visceral anguish in the face of the "I's" dissolution and the potential loss of all that imbues life with meaning. Confronted...

Shamans and the development of Social Masks

  The growing dissociation of new social persons (social masks) from a single primitive mask that brings them together occurs due to the specialization processes that require increasingly complex economic actions. From the mask of the shaman, compatible with the masks of man or woman, but not with the child mask, unfold the social masks of the founding hero, the priest (priestess), the poet, or depositary of narrative memory, the doctor, the meteorology controller, and even the holy king. The shamanic powers are either the result of a search or of a spontaneous happening within a human lineage, which from the point of view of the professionalism of the economic action of shamanism is irrelevant, since it is the work of a specialist for communication with the Anima Mundi. In fact, the lineage transmission of social persons is not exclusive to shamanic professional practice. The shaman is not an individual person any more than the social person of the old man can be. I...
