Very excited to share that my paper, “Recursion and the Metaphysics of Time in Hegel's Science of Logic,” has been accepted for presentation at the biennial meeting of the Hegel Society of America.
Logical progression—like time—is not linear, but recursive.
See you in Chicago!
Hegel’s Logic isn’t about how all being begins, but how the being *of something* begins. It only appears successive from that standpoint. As a whole, logic itself is infinite because everything is something. To begin with pure being is simply to show that pure being never begins.
@Sevens_2 Also I don’t really understand what you’re trying to argue with me about. I’m not denying that we have an unconscious, which was the point of my original post.
I really want Freud to be wrong about the unconscious, but then I wake up from dreams and think “oh yeah that *is* how I’ve been feeling,” which kind of makes it irrefutable and I find that extremely annoying
@Sevens_2 What do you mean by “assemble”? Because when I deliberately interpret an emotional experience, even when I bring to my self-consciousness a memory from a past conscious experience, I am actively (consciously) feeling those emotions.
@logicsofworlds I hate to be an AI apologist, but ChatGPT is surprisingly good at interpreting dreams. On mornings after a particularly vivid dream, I will immediately grab my phone and use its voice to text feature to say as much of it as I can remember and its analysis is crazy good
@Sevens_2 I think that every feeling enters into consciousness by virtue of the fact that it is felt, but that doesn’t necessarily mean it is consciously understood or even acknowledged - the latter of which would require self-consciousness (awareness of my own subjective experience) while
