We read section 118 in part 4 (The Leap). Herein we learn of the extreme projection of the essence of beyng whereby we come to ourselves for the first time, as well as the ground of the decision regarding the direction and range of the projection. We use these ideas to discuss what it means...

In section 117 (The Leap) we read about the decisionary space of the clearing/concealing, the uniqueness of death as the unusualness of beyng, and the “death of a god” as “the most frightful jubilation.” In relating all this to the liberal/post-liberal transition, we discover the conceptual deceptions that underlie the basic assertions of the historical...

We conclude Part 3 of the book (The Interplay) and head into Part 4 (The Leap). We read about the necessity of distinction and uniqueness, aka hierarchy, that is necessary to open up being, the history of being that has led up to the need for the leap into beyng, and the disposition of diffidence...

In sections 111 and 112 we read of the apriori, what is “first by nature,” the paradigm, the descent, the origin, and how the form covers it all up. This leads us to question to the compulsion to search for a first, to believe in a nature that is always present, and to seek cures...

We finally conclude section 110 by reading about idealism, and its most insidious scion, biologism. The final section is a questioning of ideal form, human being, and biologism. We then spin into various musings over liberal logic and its narrative warfare. Listen here or wherever you get your podcasts.

In subsections 21 and 22 of section 101 we read of the “scions and consequences of Platonism,” aka the ideological lineage of liberalism, as theories that adopt values, meanings, ideas and ideals; self-evident ways of questioning; and “life-philosophy” that results in “extreme confusion raised to a principle (aka transcendence).” We then discuss some post-liberal approaches...

Continuing through section 110, we read of the history of idealism coming down from Plato, which Heidegger claims is in fact a history of realism in which the subject is transcendent and the truth of being is unquestioned. From here we discuss some of the symptoms and manifestations of the liberal addiction to transcendence in...

In the section that begins “Hegel’s concept of the idea,” we read about the various determinations of the history of the idea that are encapsulated in Hegel’s absolute self-knowing spirit and told that all post-Hegelian philosophies are mere submissive iterations of this core concept. We then discuss how this idea of the idea plays into...

In subsections 11-14 of section 110 we read about Platonism having been transformed from “idealism” to “realism” via the res becoming essentia. This manifests in the I, via cogito ergo sum, being mathetically linked to thinking, as well as the perceptum being taken for existence. From here we spin off to discuss the identitarian and...

Continuing thru section 110, we read of a set of prescriptive relations that the the liberal worldview perpetuates through its valuation-centered reach beyond being: the relation of form to soul, essence to seeing, community to discourse, and good to love. We also analyze how the subject/object dichotomy and the higher valuation of the subject inherent...
