[MD] Language Games (was Theatre and Definitions)

[Ant McWatt]

DM,

I hope your April 12th post (pasted below) and suggested Heidegger essay 
“What is Metaphysics?” helps out Matt.

I'm not sure of the wisdom about being too precise about Dynamic Quality but 
I would have framed your "definition" of it thus:

"DQ is Nothingness, the [indeterminate, aesthetic] flux, [creative] 
movement, what everything [static] appears out of and returns to."

Best wishes,

Anthony.


“There is nothing in common between Brahman and ultimate reality as 
conceived by Democritus, Plato or Aristotle. The atoms of Democritus, the 
ideas of Plato and the forms of Aristotle were definite determinate things, 
the very antithesis of the unspecifiable Brahman. Also the Democritean 
atoms, the Platonic ideas and the Aristotelian Unmoved Mover were concepts 
by postulation, whereas Brahman, besides being indeterminate, is a concept 
by intuition.”

F.S.C. Northrop, “The complementary Emphases of Eastern Intuitive and 
Western Scientific Philosophy,” in Charles A. Moore, ed., ‘Philosophy East 
and West’ (Princeton: Princeton University Press, 1944), p. 176
