[MD] Kierkegaard on the possible

[David M]

Kierkegaard:

To conceive something is to dissolve actuality into possibility -but then
it is impossible to conceive it, because conceiving something is 
transforming
it into possibility and so not holding on to it as actuality. But there's 
this
deplorable confusion in that modern times have incorporated 'actuality' into
logic and then, in distraction, forgotten that 'actuality' in logic is still 
only
'thought' actuality, i.e. possibility.
