Editorial notes: Having dedicated two earlier entries in 2011 to Superman, in November 2015 Shai returns to writing about superheroes. In a month of flurried activity between mid-November and mid-December 2014, Shai writes 13 posts, dedicated to reviewing Superman, Hawkman, Aquaman and Flash. The post below is one of a number of entries in Shai’s Evernote journals, where he attempts to...
————————————————- Ch.6. “THE FORMATION OF SPIRIT”[I] ————————————————- We are entering the domain of Geist, which is later aka “objective spirit” {in the Encyclopedia?}. It concerns...
Health: The weighty costs of non-caloric sweeteners A new study shows that metabolic changes induced by non-caloric artificial sweeteners (NAS) (e.g. elevated fasting glucose) are induced by (and can be directly induced by) changes to gut bacteria. Include human demonstration. Further hypotheses: (1) Increase in bacteria that break down dietary components, esp. energy extraction including fats...
Nb. this is on the bit starting C.AA.V(231), but before it begins C.AA.V.A (nb. noted below) [231] “But in this object, in which it finds that its own action and being, as being that of this particular consciousness, are being and action in themselves, there has arisen for consciousness the idea of Reason, of the certainty that, in its particular individuality, it has being absolutely in...
[207/42] Stb: The UC is *like* a spirt, in that it contains two parts, and also their unity. But it is not aware of this, and so experiences itself as both, then as one when it identifies itself as both, but thus returns again. The “two” I’m referring to are self as immutable and self as mutable (via the duplication, as #206 calls it, of skepticism). [208] Returning movements:...

The paradigm whereby rationality = vision of cosmic order = self-presence, Taylor calls an “inarticulate limit of thought”, insofar as it was presupposed, and preceded the possibility of consideration in itself. Enlightenment as an attempt to amalgamate two views: man as generator of objectivity, and (thence) man as subject of nature – nb. tension. The desacralizing efforts of...
————– B.IV.B. Stoicism et al. ————– Re. stoicism: “The retreat towards inner self-identity cannot bring freedom for an embodied subject whose real freedom must thus be externally expressed in a way of life. Stoicism is thus in contradiction with itself, it is a putative realization of freedom which is, in fact, its negation. As...
Must (self) consciousness have “desire” or is it rather the case that is only through desire that self-consciousness can experience? His reasoning for why desire must concern life is obtuse; something about it having to confront infinity (which refers to more garble back in the previous section) and infinity necessarily including life, etc ad absurdum. SC is defined as “the...
