Lets examine this a little further: The Gospel Of John: In The Beginning Was The Word "Is" -clip- [UO = Unity of Opposites.] ^^^^^^ CB: The sentence "John is a man" means John is both the same and different from Joe, Jack, Rosa, Charles... It is precisely the "is" of predication that is a unity and struggle of opposites. The "is" of identity _ "He is John. " - that is not a tautology, ^^^^ CB: This should be "that is a tautology". ^^^^^ not a unity and struggle of opposites, but a unity of the sames. Before I had even heard of dialectics - living in the a mental world of strict formal logic - I started to "run into" lots of contradictions and paradoxes . My own road to dialectics was a posteriori, not a priori. ________________________________ * Previous message: [Marxism-Thaxis] Anti-dialectics at Marxism 2007 * Messages sorted by: [ date ] [ thread ] [ subject ] [ author ] ________________________________ More information about the Marxism-Thaxis mailing list <http://lists.econ.utah.edu/mailman/listinfo/marxism-thaxis> _______________________________________________ Marxism-Thaxis mailing list Marxism-Thaxis@lists.econ.utah.edu To change your options or unsubscribe go to: http://lists.econ.utah.edu/mailman/listinfo/marxism-thaxis
