[philoofsophia]

Love Gadamer so much. One of my favorite philosophers thanks in large part to this channel.

Is there a reading list to unpack some of the things he said? I feel like he just crammed so much into five minutes, I need help unpacking all of that.

This "natura naturans, " this "mysterious vitality"...seems to point up something "mystical." I mean, if the whole of nature is constituted by "selfhood, " then indeed we are back to the One, to Parmenides, to Plato and Neoplatonism. We are in Vedanta, in the Absolute Sphere, of which the Relative Sphere is the image. Yet this apparent division is itself derivative; it derives from the ONE. Is this not what Schelling was getting at? What Fichte pioneered, following Kant? This "ego consciousness" or infinitely refined "Subject" is like "God, " in the sense that it is the sine qua non. The atoms "contain" it; our bodies "contain" it. Indeed, we ourselves are "starstuff." We are eternal. Logically, the whole universe is essentially FREEDOM. Or this mysterious "intelligible order." Maharishi termed it, THE DIVINE CREATIVE INTELLIGENCE. Shakespeare noticed it as well, but also the "Comedy of Errors."

He doesn't explain why they must be regarded as attributable to us.
