隔岸繼續觀火

Todd May的的確非常地「readable and compelling」。

Perhaps the most central element of this template [ie, dogmatic image of thought, to conceive this world] is representation. This is how it works. The world is out there, stable and serene. In order to be conceived, it awaits our thought. Our thought represents it. That is what thought does. It mirrors what is there, in its stability and its serenity, in our ideas. Thought is nothing more than a representation of the world: a re-presentation in our mind of what is presented to us once, already, out there. [74]

Here is a way seeing the world: it is composed not of identities that form and reform themselves, but of swarms of difference that actualize themselves into specific forms of identity. Those swarms are not outside the world; they are not transcendent creators. They are of the world, as material as the identities formed from them. And they continue to exist even within the identities they form, not as identities but as difference. [114]


如果我有安色皮耳森教授那樣的地位跟學養,我會建議z先生與八特樂女士,除了繼續磨練一下拉剛學派與正義公理至上的馬派等dogmatic image of thought之外,念這本書。
