給我一個移動的理由 (give me a reason to move) (negativity vs vitality)

這是 zombieland (2009) 的 rule 32,你要理解,rule 31 是 check the back seat,而且你要理解,史鐵生的命若琴弦,發生在共匪文革屍樂園,意思是說,他被紅衛兵,從樓上丟下去,半身不遂,才寫得出,這個失明的,移動的故事,為什麼移動需要理由(注意,不是需要導航),因為理由像畫框,給了作品範圍,也像書寫,需要 manageable,比如說,列下題綱,「七加減二」(記住,永遠不要超過七,Cf. The Magical Number Seven, Plus or Minus Two: Some Limits on Our Capacity for Processing Information" is one of the most highly cited papers in psychology. It was written by the cognitive psychologist George A. Miller of Harvard University's Department of Psychology and published in 1956 in Psychological Review. It is often interpreted to argue that the number of objects an average human can hold in short-term memory is 7 ± 2. This has occasionally been referred to as Miller's lawhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Magical_Number_Seven,_Plus_or_Minus_Two ),有趣的是,最有趣的移動,必須沒有理由;你要理解,理由是往返的,重複的,線性的,從 A 到 B,從 B 回到 A,以此類推,以至無盡;意思是說,沒有理由,就沒有往返,沒有重複,沒有線性,沒有 A 和 B;這種移動,就是 Greg Madison 說的,存有的遷徙 (Existential Migration),這個詞說的,非候鳥的遷徙,而是人類的,客死他鄉的流離;回到開始,正常的說法是,「給我一個移動的理由」(give me a reason to move)(或「給我一個不移動的理由」 (give me a reason not to move) );不正常的說法是,「不要給我一個移動的理由」(don’t give me a reason to move) (或「不要給我一個不移動的理由」(don’t give me a reason not to move) );然後你要記住,永遠不要正常;

Was Albert Camus influenced by Benjamin Fondane? (ChatGPT, 2024-3-31) (存在治療) (1130803)

Albert Camus, the renowned existentialist philosopher and author, was influenced by various thinkers and writers, but there's limited evidence to suggest a direct influence from Benjamin Fondane.

Benjamin Fondane, a Romanian-French existentialist philosopher, poet, and playwright, was associated with the existentialist movement in Paris during the early to mid-20th century. Fondane's works explored themes of existentialism, metaphysics, and the human condition.

While both Camus and Fondane were contemporaries in Parisian intellectual circles and shared some philosophical affinities, such as their engagement with existentialist themes, there isn't substantial evidence to suggest a direct influence of Fondane on Camus's work. Camus was more prominently influenced by thinkers like Friedrich Nietzsche, Jean-Paul Sartre, and Albert Einstein, among others.

That said, it's possible that Camus was exposed to Fondane's ideas indirectly through their shared intellectual milieu in Paris, where existentialist thought was flourishing. However, any specific influence of Fondane on Camus's thinking remains speculative and not extensively documented.

What’s the difference between Binwanger and Menards Boss, in terms of their reading of Heidegger? (ChatGPT, 2024-3-31) (存在治療) (1130803)

Medard Boss and Ludwig Binswanger were both Swiss psychiatrists who engaged with the philosophy of Martin Heidegger, particularly in relation to their understanding and practice of psychotherapy. While both were influenced by Heidegger's thought, they approached it from slightly different perspectives due to their individual backgrounds and interests in psychiatry.

  1. Medard Boss:

    • Boss is known for his close collaboration with Heidegger, particularly through the Zollikon Seminars in 1959. These seminars were pivotal in integrating Heidegger's philosophy with psychiatry, focusing on themes such as existential analysis and the nature of human existence.
    • Boss emphasized the importance of Dasein (Heidegger's term for human existence) in understanding mental illness and psychotherapy. He integrated Heidegger's concepts into his therapeutic approach, emphasizing the existential aspects of human existence and the significance of being-toward-death.
    • Boss's reading of Heidegger can be seen as more directly applied to psychotherapeutic practice, focusing on how Heidegger's insights can inform the understanding and treatment of mental health issues.
  2. Ludwig Binswanger:

    • Binswanger was also influenced by Heidegger's philosophy, particularly in his development of existential psychotherapy. However, Binswanger's approach was more influenced by phenomenology, existentialism, and psychoanalysis in addition to Heidegger.
    • Binswanger is known for his concept of "Daseinsanalysis," which is a psychotherapeutic approach that integrates Heideggerian insights into existential analysis and psychiatric practice. He emphasized understanding the unique, subjective experience of the individual and the significance of existential themes such as guilt, anxiety, and death.
    • While Binswanger drew from Heidegger's philosophy, his approach to psychotherapy was broader, incorporating insights from other philosophical and psychological traditions.

In summary, while both Medard Boss and Ludwig Binswanger were influenced by Heidegger's philosophy and integrated his ideas into their respective approaches to psychotherapy, Boss's focus was more directly on the application of Heideggerian concepts to psychiatric practice, while Binswanger's approach was broader and integrated other philosophical and psychological perspectives alongside Heidegger.

Was the Heidegger in the Zollikon Seminars the later (after the turn) Heidegger? (ChatGPT, 2024-3-31) (存在治療) (1130803)

Yes, the Zollikon Seminars, also known as the "Zollikon Seminars: Protocols - Conversations - Letters," took place in 1959 between Martin Heidegger and the psychiatrist Medard Boss. These seminars occurred after what is often referred to as Heidegger's "turn" or his "later period."

Heidegger's philosophical development is often divided into early, middle, and later periods. The "turn" refers to a shift in his thinking that occurred around the mid-1930s, marked by his engagement with themes such as language, poetry, and the history of being. In his later period, Heidegger became more focused on questions of language, art, and the nature of being itself.

Therefore, yes, the Heidegger in the Zollikon Seminars can be considered as the later Heidegger, post the turn in his thinking.

If I had to summarise my own feelings about the posthuman condition, I would say we are nearing an awareness of the energy of existence — there is the tangible crackle of a storm in the air. (The Posthuman Condition: Consciousness beyond the brain, by Robert Pepperell, 2003, Foreword, p. iv)

Negativity vs Vitality

何以 V > N,因為,無意為惡,不忍為惡,不願否定生命,勝于禮讚生命,

意思是說,V > N,因為(發)「願」大于 (造作)「意」,

The investigations into memory in this text allow Martínez to open up a reflection on life that accepts negation, but opposes destruction. At first, this argument might seem paradoxical, but for Martínez this Freudian way of thinking preexists both the discovery of the pleasure prin- ciple as the primary structure of psychic life in The Interpretation of Dreams (1905) and the later turn to the death drive in Beyond the Pleasure Principle (1920), which has formed the basis of a dualistic understanding of the psyche.

Politics and Negation: For an Affirmative Philosophy (2019)


For some while we have been witnessing a series of destructive phenomena which seem to indicate a full-fledged return to the negative on the world stage – from terrorism and armed conflict to the threat of environmental catastrophe.  At the same time, politics seems increasingly impotent in the face of these threats.  

In this book, the leading Italian philosopher Roberto Esposito reconstructs the genealogy of the reciprocal intertwining of politics and negation.  He retraces the intensification of negation in the thought of various thinkers, from Schmitt and Freud to Heidegger, and examines the negative slant of some of our fundamental political categories, such as sovereignty, property and freedom.  Against the centrality of negation, Esposito proposes an affirmative philosophy that does not negate or repress negation but radically rethinks it in the positive cipher of difference, determination and opposition. The result is a rigorous and original pathway which, in the tension between affirmation and negation, recognizes the disturbing traumas of our time, as well as the harbingers of what awaits at its limits.

意思是說,深諳否定 (negativity),方足禮讚 (vitality),

意思是說,深諳 N vs V 的 vs (辯證),方至相信 V > N,方能肯定生命 (affirmation of life),

They (D&G) replace the primacy of negation with an affirmation that has the capacity to include even its own opposite. (ibid, p. 138)

Biome (生物群系)

biome (/ˈb.m/) is a distinct geographical region with specific climatevegetation, and animal life. It consists of a biological community that has formed in response to its physical environment and regional climate.[1][2] Biomes may span more than one continent. A biome encompasses multiple ecosystems within its boundaries. It can also comprise a variety of habitats.

A biota is the total collection of organisms of a geographic region or a time period, from local geographic scales and instantaneous temporal scales all the way up to whole-planet and whole-timescale spatiotemporal scales. The biotas of the Earth make up the biosphere (生物圈).

In Fig. 6-1 you will be able to see that I fully accept the recent philosophical achievements of Sir Karl Popper with his concept of three worlds. I was a dualist, now I am a trialist! Cartesian dualism has become unfashionable with many people. They embrace monism to escape the enigma of brain-mind interaction with its perplexing problems. But Sir Karl Popper and I are interactionists, and what is more, trialist interactionists!

Nihilism is the negation of the negative (negativity vs vitality) (nihilism)

Nihilism is not the negation of being – as one often keeps hearing – but the destruction of the difference that inhabits being. Its principal contribution has not been the production of the negative but the negation of the negative – and therefore its doubling. By negating the negative that has always permeated our experience, what we call nihilism ended up strengthening it exponentially, consigning us to its destructive reproduction. For this reason, it also affected overtly positive philosophies that were inclined to eliminate the negative before engaging in any critical confrontation with it. (Politics and Negation: Towards an Affirmative Philosophy, Roberto Esposito, 2018, p. 3)

消滅差異,『否定』「否定」,就是『虛無主義』,

這裡,被否定的「否定」就是 「negativity」,

意思是說,這是第一個「否定」,是無中生有的無,是和 vitality 辨證的 negativity,

意思是說,這是第一個「否定」,本質非惡,

意思是說,惡是第二個『否定』,那個『否定』否定的否定,

Popper's three worlds (1967)

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Popper%27s_three_worlds

The three worlds may be understood, in this evolutionary and cosmological sense, as containing three categories of entity:

  • World 1: the realm of states and processes as studied by the natural sciences. These include the states and processes that we seek to explain by physics and by chemistry, and also those states and processes that subsequently emerge with life and which we seek to explain by biology.
  • World 2: the realm of mental states and processes. These include sensations and thoughts, and include both conscious and unconscious mental states and processes. World 2 includes all animal as well as human mental experience. These mental states and processes only emerge as a product of biological activity by living organisms, and so only emerge subsequent to the emergence of living organisms within World 1.
  • World 3: the realm of the 'products of thought' when considered as objects in their own right. These products emerge from human "World 2" activity, but when considered as World 3 objects in their own right they have rebound effects on human World 2 thought processes. Through these rebound effects, World 3 'objects' may - via World 2-based human action on World 1 - have an indirect but powerful effect on World 1. In Popper's view, World 3 'objects' encompass a very wide range of entities, from scientific theories to works of art, from laws to institutions.

人屬學名Homo)是靈長目人科的一屬。今天生活在世界上的現代人即智人是其唯一倖存的物種。然而,有一些學者認為,依DNA的差異性而言,黑猩猩屬和人屬,在生物學分類上,實在應該歸為同一屬,但是動物分類只是闡明它們之間的演化關係,並沒有規定屬與屬之間的基因差異必須達到多少,即使將其歸入人屬,那也還是要再建立一個黑猩猩亞屬來區別人與黑猩猩的演化差異。

人屬最大的特點是其發達的。在二百萬年的進化中其腦的容量擴大了三倍。
