Of Fathers and Sons: Metaphysics from the Everyday’s Perspective

Traditional metaphysical notion of causality seems like the most abstract thing in the world. In order to demonstrate the opposite, or rather qualify “abstract” in a quite different sense, we’ll take a look at two passages from supposedly the most abstract treatise on the subject: Elements of Theology by Proclus. Simultaneously, we’ll lay out how the notion of unity of cause and effect is quite obvious from the pinnacle moment of growing up from boy into man: a recognition of likeness between father and the son.

“How you identify?” “Oh, I identify as …” If you find this Q&A form peculiar, moreover, if you already noticed how it pervades the conversations, replacing the traditional “Who are you?” and “I am …”, invest some of your time into KT’s analysis of the strange cause that just could be underlying this novel, yet only seemingly insignificant, nuance in the form of Internet mediated conversations.

Nothing on the Horizon: Introductory Passages of Heidegger’s “Being and Time”

KT’s Department for Sanitary Measures in Modern Philosophy commences the reading of passages of introductory section of Martin Heidegger’s “Being and Time”. As Heidegger is often mentioned on these pages – and in quite negative light – we are obliged to provide some insights based on his own words.

Without a Cause: The Sinister Nature of Synchronicity pt.2

In the second part of the analysis of the phenomenon of synchronicity, we proceed to compare it with what was traditionally understood as correspondence between man and the world. The synchronicity appears to be a veritable inversion of this relation with rather sinister consequences.
