Good day brothers, sisters and all 2c this.
Without further ado I shall post some shots of my art, which after God and me, you are the first to see. With some quotes I have found from a phenomenological bias to meditate on.
The first is an empty pizza box which I painted on.
Phenomenology is also a philosophy which puts essences back into existence, and does not expect to arrive at an understanding of man and the world from any starting point other than that of their 'facility'.
Reflection does not withdraw from the world towards the unity of consciousness as the world's basis; it steps back to watch the forms of transcendence fly up like sparks from a fire;...
...in order to see the world and grasp it as paradoxical, we must break with our familiar acceptance of it...
Far from being, as has been thought, a procedure of idealistic philosophy, phenomenological reduction belongs to existential philosophy: Heidegger's 'being-in-the-world' appears only against the background of the phenomenological reduction.
The eidetic reduction is, on the other hand, the determination to bring the world to light as it is before any falling back on ourselves has occurred, it is the ambition to make reflection emulate the unreflected life of consciousness.
The eidetic method is the method of a phenomenological positivism which bases the possible on the real.
We must not, therefore, wonder whether we really perceive a world, we must instead say: the world is what we perceive.
....there is no sphere of immanence, no realm in which my consciousness is fully at home and secure against all risk of error.
...the contingency of the world must not be understood as a deficiency in being, a break in the stuff of necessary being, a threat to rationality, nor as a problem to be solved as soon as possible by the discovery of some deeper-laid necessity. That is ontic contingency, contingency within the bounds of the world.
The essential point is clearly to grasp the project towards the world that we are.
....we are nothing but a view of the world....
Inside and outside are inseparable.
A shape is nothing but a sum of limited views, and the consciousness of a shape is a collective entity.
I start from unified experience and from there acquire, in a secondary way, consciousness of a unifying activity when, taking up an analytical attitude, I break up perception into qualities and sensations, and when, in order to recapture on the basis of these the object into which I was in the first place blindly thrown, I am obliged to suppose an act of synthesis which is merely the counterpart of my analysis.
In perception we do not think the object and we do not think ourselves thinking it, we are given over to the object and we merge into this body which is better informed than we are about the world...
...in this transaction between the subject of sensation and the sensible it cannot be held that one acts while the other suffers the action, or that one confers significance on the other. Apart from the probing of my eye or my hand, and before my body synchronizes with it, the sensible is nothing but a vague beckoning.
Have a good day my brothers and sisters. If you are able then know you are loved and become this love and let is shine amongst us in smiles, forgiveness and self-worth. Your ever-loving brother, Peter
