He concluded that it is that by which. All of these that are that by which are the different parts of our brain/mind, for example memory, imagination, logical thought, spatial thoughtr, symbolic (linguistic) thought, etz. And these by which we aprehend, are par of us,a re what we are, not those which we aprehend by these. Those are parts of the world. Whiles that by which are part of the being. The middle part, the connection between being and world, or, as the world is that which happens, i.e. events, which is motion/change, then we can say, quoting Hedegger, being and time, what there is between, as I was saying at the begining of this ultra long sentence, is TRUTH. Notice I didn't say the truth, for the the truth is not the same as truth itself. Just like that by which is not the same as that which. |
I agree truth,and not (the truth) there is a difference,as you so rightly mention.
