Do we ever actually encounter \u201craw significance\u201d?\u00a0 Isn\u2019t it always bundled with \u2018awareness\u2019, an inextricable web of meaning, of manifold significances?\u00a0 It may be that \u2018raw significance\u2019 is an abstraction.\u00a0 If so, the questions that press to the fore are political\u2026why would we want to denude the way we find ourselves already engaged in \u2018worldhood\u2019 as Heidegger may suggest or Husserl\u2019s horizon?\u00a0 Why would an abstraction of experience be deemed a suitable substitution for how meaning, sensations, being show themselves?\u00a0 Perhaps, as Heidegger notes, it is because we are historical beings. \u00a0Our truths are never pure and naked tautologies but always clothed in the garbs of circumstance, the accidental, the fullness of the moment (kairos), semblance.\u00a0 This would make the incidental not circumspect but always already there with, essential to the founding of truth.\u00a0 To separate tautology from NOT tautology is always already to have never departed from tautology.\u00a0\u00a0 It is to re-pronounce the ancient incantation of Parmenides and Plato the one over the many, the eternal over the mortal, mind over body and the other countless ways this has redeemed itself in history.\u00a0 Yet, the still small voice remains, the voice we think as incidental and unnecessary, the other that has not yet succumbed to tautology.\u00a0 This is how we find ourselves and ethics is the choice of force or d\u00e9tente.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
