Extensive magnitude
Sensations yielded
Inner multiplicity
As they unfold themselves in duration, states of consciousness are not operative in isolation, but rather proceed in tangible multiplicity.
“No state once gone can recur and be identical with what it was before.” – William James
States of consciousness
Even when successive
Permeate one another
When exercising the mental faculty of acquiring knowledge, by either direct observation or by understanding, the True and the Good are united in the Beautiful. In actuality, the philosopher must possess just as much aesthetic power as the poet.
“Theoretically the part played by consciousness in external perception would be to join together, by the continuous thread of memory, instantaneous visions of the real.” – Henri Bergson
All that we see
Consciousness
Unbounded
Schelling desires to expand the Kantian project of freedom via Critical Idealism by including emotional and volitional processes in concert with cognition. Broadly speaking, cognition is the mental process of acquiring comprehension and knowledge through the senses, through thought, and through experience as durational succession. The genuine philosopher rebels against being the prisoner of any system.
“Our intelligence, looking for fixity, masks the flow of time by conceiving it as a juxtaposition of ‘instants’ on a line.” – Leon Jacobson
Wet street
Sky grayness
Moisture in the air
Out my front door the evening the rain falls. While cars come and go across the ocular range, a newly configured optical device shows distinctive render attributes. The ground of all phenomena originates in the diversity of the peculiar proportion of their mixture.
“The meteorological phenomena are all without a doubt manifestations of processes through which they are always rejuvenated and replenished anew.” – Friedrich Wilhelm Joseph Schelling
Urban mapping
Define context
Private view
Truth is the stuff of our own mental construction. Meanwhile, the unresolved nature of existence is a large component of its authority.
“The appearances of natural objects are in themselves meaningless; the essential thing is feeling – in itself and completely independent of the context in which it has been evoked.” – Kasimir Malevich
Simple actants
Infinite multiplicity
Universal compulsion
Emphasizing the meaning of aesthetics, Bergson defines metaphysics as the mind striving to transcend the conditions of useful action, coming back to itself as a pure creative energy. The dynamic pattern that we subsequently infer anticipates the universe as its scaffolding.
“Here I am in the presence of images, in the vaguest sense of the word, images perceived when my senses are opened to them, unperceived when they are closed.” – Henri Bergson
Physical activity
In a given pathway
Align outcomes
The unconditioned is Being itself, and thus cannot demonstrate entirely in any finite entity. Yet every individual is a particular expression of the unconditioned . Rather than being separate from the external world, by focusing on organic, dynamic, and assembled holistic narratives, human beings are integrating into existence.
“Now Nature itself is, according to general consensus, nothing other than the sum total of existence; it would therefore be impossible to view Nature as an unconditioned, if the concealed trace of freedom could not be discovered in the concept of being itself.” – Friedrich Wilhelm Joseph Schelling
Oblique rays
Edge portions
Tangential coma
Sometimes the aberrations of life are the most interesting aspects.
“I’m prone to tangential digressions, but I’ve never regretted being remarkably inconsistent: it’s led me to fascinating people and interesting stories.” – Natalie MacLean
Rigorous description
Periodic generalization
Matter of expediency
Aesthetics can access a discriminating domain of experience that penetrates the camouflage of rationality.
“Anyone who has begun to think, places some portion of the world in jeopardy.” – John Dewey
Internal conjunction
Absolute unification
Movement coordination
Integrated and interpreted by an active assessment process, duration is a constant succession of presentations, oriented towards refining a comprehension of existence.
“It can be conceived (although it can hardly be imagined) that energy might be saved up, and then expended on varying lines running across a matter not yet solidified.” – Henri Bergson
