at the very beginning of history we find the extraordinary monuments of Paleolithic art, a standing problem to all theories of human development, and a delicate test of their truth

R. G. Collingwood

reflection
cannot
be
complete
if
it
does not
arrive at
awareness
of
itself
as
well
as
its
results.
we
must
reflect
on
this reflection,
understand the
natural situation
which
it is
conscious
of
succeeding and which
is
therefore
part of
its
definition

Merleau-Ponty

[continuous_territory @SpectrAutomaton]

there is a significance of that which is perceived that has no equivalent in the universe of the understanding

Merleau-Ponty

[continuous_territory @SpectrAutomaton]

there is a world of creatures - of living things and animals, entelechies, and souls - in the smallest part of matter

Leibniz

[continuous_territory @SpectrAutomaton]

bodies or 'composite substances' are collections of simple substances, or monads

Leibniz

[continuous_territory @SpectrAutomaton]

it is enough for the things taking place in our soul to correspond with each other as well as with those happening in any other soul, and it is not necessary to assume anything outside of all souls or monads

sense conditions the intense significance of actual things and words, whereas the expression of sense in them gives it a determinacy allowing it to avoid a descent into chaos

James Williams

[continuous_territory @SpectrAutomaton]

here, in the faces of the husband and his wife, you begin to see an expression you will notice on every face; not worry, but absolute terror of the starvation that crowds in against the borders of the camp

Steinbeck

[continuous_territory @SpectrAutomaton]

language as a possibility for event-effects does not mean the possible human use of language, but the way language as process provides a set of conditions for the expression of sense

James Williams

[continuous_territory @SpectrAutomaton]

you may be a puppet controlled by anger and love, but these also make your life singular, mobile and difficult

James Williams

[continuous_territory @SpectrAutomaton]

because it is not true that the verb represents an action; it expresses an event, which is completely different

Deleuze

[continuous_territory @SpectrAutomaton]

the knot of emotions betrays the many dimensions of becoming, never a single direction in time, or a single movement, or one alteration, but all of them at different degrees of intensity, selected and expressed by our emotions and the ways we replay complex event

James Williams

[continuous_territory @SpectrAutomaton]

events happen prior to directions in time and come to form them

James Williams

[continuous_territory @SpectrAutomaton]

a series is not a synthesis because it brings together the same things, but because it introduces a novel variation

James Williams

[continuous_territory @SpectrAutomaton]

this is because Deleuze holds that every expression is a drama or dramatisation, not only a transfer of meaning but its re-enactment

James Williams

[continuous_territory @SpectrAutomaton]

we cannot be sure of the outcomes of events, but we can describe where and how they have reverberated

James Williams

[continuous_territory @SpectrAutomaton]

the event considered as non-actualized lacks nothing at all

Deleuze

[continuous_territory @SpectrAutomaton]

the passage from one sensation to another, however close two sensations may be, but as becoming, as an increase or decrease in power

Deleuze

[continuous_territory @SpectrAutomaton]

this indefinite life does not itself have moments, however close they may be, but only between-times, between-moments

Deleuze
