Ser humano y el proceso de autodesvelamiento

"Lo que es posterior en el orden de generación es anterior en el orden de sustancia". Aristóteles. Libro de Metafísica XIII. 1077.a.26-27


Aristóteles hace el comentario en relación a la construcción de objetos matemáticos, pero en relación a la vida el enunciado alcanza un significado más profundo. Esta afirmación apela a una intuición básica: en la generación de un objeto, lo último completa la construcción y sella la identidad del objeto. En los seres vivos, lo último en aparecer tiene un orden de sustancia anterior, es la sustancia que se expresaba y se abría camino en pasos incompletos: es la evolución de un orden superior involucionado. El Ser, sustancia de primer orden, es un proceso de desvelamiento, de evolución de lo involucionado. "Lo que llega a ser" proviene de un orden de generación anterior que contiene codificada la condición de posibilidad de lo posterior, como sucede con las semillas, que contienen todo el árbol y a sí mismas como posibilidad y como código. Desde el orden superior de Vida-Inteligencia, desde el Ser Humano, lo posterior es la creciente simbolización de la experiencia y de la propia identidad que en ella se despliega. Nuestros símbolos más complejos, nuestros planos mítico-rituales, muestran el paso de la Vida-Inteligencia hacia desarrollos cada vez más amplios, complejos y profundos, es un proceso de desvelamiento de un marco de posibilidades condicionantes y una apertura a la continua emergencia (aparición) semántica, a formas de inteligencia que hasta ahora sólo estaban como posibilidad, limitadas por el continuo emocional-racional en sus estadios más arcaicos.

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...

What is Mythopoetics?

  The narrative grew in the process of being told, as myths always do. The Blog has become more labyrinthine over the years. It contains my Mythopoetics book and a few other things. For those who access these texts without knowing anything about Mythopoetics, I am going to post the introduction of the first part, so you can decide if you want to spend your precious time thinking about the identity narratives that we humans have developed over the years. throughout our eventful existence as a species. "Mythological narratives are the only intellectual activity that has been continuously practiced by human beings, a fact that makes them a unique tool for thinking synthetically our evolution as homo-sapiens. In this sense, they are the first valuation settings that humans have made about themselves and their environment, and as such, they have conditioned the ones that have come afterwards, both in form and content. Their communicative function places them at the basis o...

An Epistemological Perspective of Individuation

For the ancient Romans, "Terminus" was the god of boundaries, represented as large stones used to divide and delimit fields. Festivals were held, called Terminalia, in which the stones that "generated" human space were sanctified. Our word "term" is the heir of that god, or better, it is that god incorporated into an everyday space, in our Lebenswelt or world of life. A philosophical term, whatever its semantic content, is the conceptual mark that we make by establishing a referential sign, it is the action of determining, of generating a reference in a mental space, a reference with which we make a sign correspond, or if we deal with a physical space, the correspondence with an object, be it a milestone, a stone, or an indicator sign. Since its beginnings, philosophy has used binary semantic terms as thinking tools, something that analytical psychology has also made good use of. One of the longest-running binary semantic terms for psychology...
