Thinking crosses from the Nineteenth to
the Twentieth century, but its cultural centering does not
hold. |
 |
The roles of ideas change for thinking as
the centrality of process and temporality gain recognition. Is
thinking more like science or art? |
 |
Earlier ways thinking had shifted in its
relations with ideas; Kant's critical philosophy, Hegel's
dialectics, the emergence of ideology |
 |
In a quest to cure itself of ideology and
find its proper heir, philosophy contemplates ending itself or
turning itself inside-out. |
 |
Hinges of revolutions in thinking. Roles
of ideas in cognition versus 'transformative practice' at the
threshold of the Twentieth century. |
 |
New foundations for subjectivity:
phenomenology and hermeneutics show how immersion in
presence opens thinking beyond ideas. |
 |
New foundations for objectivity: concepts
as forms of potential for experience. The reach and synthesis of
concepts as forms of potential exhibits thinking's openness toward
the future. |
 |
New foundations for meaning: myth uncovers
metaphor as meaning's deepest roots and as the basis of thinking's
openness to the past. Religion's way of conjoining presence,
future and past as opennesses. |
 |
Heidegger's revolutionary attempt to
integrate thinking's openness to future, past, and present. His
need to reshape Truth's meaning. |
 |
Factors missing from Heidegger's kind of
temporal thinking; Nietzsche's values on play and life; Paul
Ricoeur's exploration of metaphor and narrative temporality;
Susanne Langer's organic approach to symbolic form. |
 |
Modeling the integration of factors
required for a comprehensively temporal thinking. Meaning's
situation between objectivity and subjectivity. Is Plurality more
basic than Unity? |
 |
Gilles Deleuze's 'polyrhythmic' approach
to objectivity and its impact on the status of concepts as given
in VI(b), above. |
 |
Emmanuel Levinas grounds subjectivity in
exposure and expression; the significance for Husserl's objectives
as described in VI (a), above. |
 |
Temporal thinking is pluralistc.
Proximity. Understandings of Mind and Life can guide each other by
their common ground of individualization and integration. The
dimensions of temporal openness isolated in the three parts of
section VI, above, meet in lived
experience as sense, concept, and meaning. The
challenge for thinking of a 'wisdom of love'. |
