the only thing I imagine the words ‘professional philosopher’ can refer to is that guy I met in the Stanford philosophy department whose job was to take Plato’s dialogues and condense them into a page of formal logic for the analytic guys to pore over https://t.co/gRLrcLG31V

Plato

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

the entire history of Being is contained in Plato’s Sophist as a movement stretching from absolute ontological monism to the self-identical pluralism of ontological liberalism — what Plato calls “sophistry”

Science of Logic

G. W. F. Hegel
Émilie in MontrealÉmilie in Montreal

@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.”

If you read Plato’s Republic in Ancient Greek back to back and manage to make it out still a cis man, congratulations, you succeeded where me and Plato both failed. You’re probably cis for real
