Read the Appendix to the Second Deduction of the One in Plato’s Parmenides, then re-read the transcendental aesthetic, then read Hölderlin’s Commentary on Antigone, then re-read the play. It’s about the appearance of the world of worlds. Prometheus Bound all the same

If your art contains spoilers, it’s shit in the first place. Homer begins the Iliad by saying: every person you’re about to hear about, dies. no one makes it out alive. that’s the big spoiler. nobody makes it out alive. and art is about learning how to deal with that fact

@en_ziye @AnonKewp probably Plato’s Symposium, Sophist and Theaetetus, and some selections from Plotinus’ Enneads

@LacanianC @CNoumena “Hegel’s Science of Logic, which should never be lightly criticized, might have swapped opposition for difference at a crucial moment, by saying: what is different from difference, is identity (II.266). For one can very well say: a hundred thalers are different from difference.”
