This is likely due to my vague familiarity with the question of the whatness of things, and rather we can know them truly. Or if I am familiar it's because I've been a reader of writers in objection to the very question. At any rate, I'm aloft towards their work and can only liken it to map-making. Owing to the postmodern context, they can't actually say they're making a map, with all that a map provides one, and so the map is always somehow incomplete (i.e. for Levi Bryant of Larval Subjects, objects never fully display all their relations at any one time, but are otherwise little gears in the universe worthy of eseteem), but the desire is abundantly clear.<br /><br />A further coincidence: the idea of equality is, according to my studies (I hate that term, but it possesses a useful pretension of credence), one which posseses a particularly solvent nature in the face of a tradition that has made a pretence to its esteem but practically runs in the other direction. I see this solvent nature arising from more sources that just the Greeks or anyone else in that subsequent sucession (and here I'd like to point our mutual suspicion of this Greek origin: it was, and likely remains, vogue in certain circles to point out that American democracy is modeled on Roman jurisprudence, what with its elitism and what not, hence representative democracy, and that the Greek notion thus shares in the pure realm of absolute democracy - they owned slaves, and women weren't members of the polity. They owed their democracy to the conditions of living in a polis, with all that connoted for them, than some higher sentiment). <br /><br />So it's heartening to find someone with semblant sentiments. I look forward to what will come of your blog in the future.BenoƮthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15832688511527789165noreply@blogger.com
