Can you include the transliteration and or the phoenetical pronounciation as well if possible when showing the Greek text for the greater convenience of readers?

Done! Pronounciation is best searched with Google translate.

To do the best that one can do.

Force is united with meaning and the meaning is not fixed, it just appears to be solid through repeated performance (congealed over time), but the stuff is not wholly dependent, it is both independent and dependent.

Faust has many interesting aspects that are philosophical through and through.

The writing of the contract with the devil, with his own blood, is like the ego is a substance ‘in the blood’ that is spilled onto the page. Desires and drives are spelled out on the page with a time reference too, Faust becomes an abject/ reject and a project by defining his subjectivity in relation to Mephistopheles. Even though Faust has him at his service, Mephistopheles is more free than Faust.

I can see the influence of Nietzsche and Heidegger on Structuralism in Lacan more now.

This view of how subjectivity is relation, as in, the master-slave dialectic, is a great example of the dependent origination link between continental philosophy and some Taoist thought I have been exploring with the likes of Crowley too.

Nietzsche seems to indicate a solitary path for personal growth.

Thats a great attitude, but it’s off topic. 😉

This is off topic, please stick to the relevant sections to ask these questions. Lounge topics, or announcements, introductions and suggestions sections are places I don’t mind a tangent or two.

The main thing here is to slow down and tackle one topic at a time, keep it simple for now.

@”Princess”

Have you read any of this book, Princess?

[atreestump]

I will disable the video limits.

Thanks for sharing!

So I find the chapter ‘Monsters’ to detail Derrida’s pre-reading process as a new beginning, faced with fear, hes scared of what is to come very interesting. Lots of beginners mind references here, ‘approach the text like you have never read anything before’, completely empty.

Derrida also brings a whole new reading of Nietzsche’s quote about the abyss here too – rather than it sounding like one becomes what is abysmal in others in a negative sense, Derrida explains it as an arrival we can affirm, the abyss is the future.
