One might think Aristophanes' story in Plato's Symposium to be as much about τὸ ὂν and λέγειν: each perfects the other, neither is without the other. Their togetherness is as much oυσία as it is ὄντως ὄν.

Natural science lacks the right grammar to be the science of anything insofar as it is. It is the knowledge of what is knowable by that through which it knows, and that through which it knows is laid down in advance (space, time, mass). Science can only be a science of something

Daniel-Pascal Zorn Unbelievably clarifying, thanks for this. This provokes the question of what "system" means in Hegel as opposed to the polemical use of that term used as a weapon and a defense mechanism against anything vaguely "Hegelian". How do you see this?

Carlo Lancellotti The point in Dilthey was to distinguish between "experience" as a basis for natural science, and "experience" as a basis for the humanities. The former is methodically filtered, the latter is not. In the latter we experience the goodness or badness of acts, for instance.

Knowing of Eric Weil that Alexandre Kojève had the highest estimation of him, but Leo Strauss the lowest, is far from enough. What would philosophy be understood to be if it were comprehended through its opposite, hence thought determinately - as the antipode of violence?

On Kant's 300th birthday let us recall that what we are pleased to call Kant's "errors" are most frequently the products of the assumptions of his interpreters, assumptions not given the benefit of the critique Kant subjected the thought of his time to so honorably.

I am shocked, *shocked* that we are not sensitive to the question of the categories of philosophy, those modes of saying in which the being of philosophy itself is disclosed or manifested to thought. Hasn't everyone pondered this? Eric Weil made it the basis of his philosophy.
