Kant decides that the subjective(for instance individuated or personal understanding) is a universal (objective) category - but that the content of that category is not because the content is imagined (subjective) - consequently, the universal is common to all such phenomena and the particular is not. As such to experience someone as other helps one to not understand their own self Other - and there for acknowledging th e commonality of separate-ness as a universal condition of our being- where in what the particularities of the experience of separateness may elude us - the problem is that we often attempt to substitute the part (the particular) for the whole (the transcendent form) and name this essence - it is this that Heidegger symbolic act which gives us a false sense of power and it is this that he would warn us about - he would have us root our actions in the universals then in the personal (particular) experience or needs

Guessing again. As an artist, that is interesting to me, because I want to only express universals. mando On Mar 27, 2009, at 7:26 AM, Luc Delannoy wrote: > I believe it is the phenomenological essence - eidos.
