This season will be focussed on how we can reinterpret our inheritance to make it new through the practice of interpretation. Nothing that is given to us from the past can be received without interpretation. The practice of interpretation is called "Hermeneutics" after the Greek messenger god Hermes. Interpretation can close, but only retroactively since the present is always open to a reinterpretation of the past, which means to change one's relation to the past, and thus, change the relations of the past. Closing on a particular interpretation is to determine or objectify, but every determination or realization of possibility actuates more open possibility. AN Whitehead explained that each "Actual Occasion," which was something like a spatiotemporal slice or droplet of experience was comprised of an intention for novel experience or novel affect, which was often the body or creature (Superject) that chose what to ingress into an Actual Occasion, the "physical pole" or concretized past, and the "mental pole," or open virtuality of the present actualized possibility was yet to be fully realized. Interpretation is possible because of the incomplete determination the mental pole, which can actuate possibility through the process of conceptualization, which might be thought of as making the determinate indeterminate or as intervening in the causal chain by realizing the incomplete determination of its causal necessity. Determination is a retroactive closure that is always reopened in the present by the mental pole's access to virtuality and the Superject's intention for novel affect, concepts, and experience.
