I'm actually a bit more focused, at the moment, as to how this relates to the Heideggerian concept of "being in the world"... that what you "don't" get with Platonic forms of "being" with which I am more familiar, is a "world".
It's really the opposite of a negation of a negation... the opening up of a new world with new possibilities that comes with a double affirmation of being AND the world.
I see your nightstand! You cleaned it off, eh? ;-)

No, the mask which conceals my identity.

ReplyDeleteSo does the nightstand reveal a part of your true identity? ...of the world you are in, that influences your identity?
ReplyDeletePs I will post my table later today.
Both, most likely.
