there is no pure position to reach - to operate from
there is only 'here' - this never changes -
you can't get out of it
we manufacture - create - conceptions
to organize from - to think from -
to assist in clear vision
(a position we never or always achieve -
it's just a matter of convention)
we have things to do and we need ways to do them -
lines of direction
there is no choice here - it is necessary
every action is a thought or thinking made public
we cannot understand action outside of thought
and we create conceptual schemes for our activity
be they tribal myths or the cutting edge theories
of modern science - or for that matter any other scheme -
on any other
day
and philosophy is just this - conceiving
it is conceptual activity and it springs from -
the haunting of - and the gut feeling of -
scepticism - of not-knowing
if we were certain we would have no reason to think -
or for the matter of that - anything to think about
we can go two ways here
defy this intuition or run with it
the history of western philosophy has really been -
the attempt at the former -
and a joyous celebration of madness it is too
