[en]Whirl of meaning
[de]Bedeutungswirbel
[it]Vortice del significato
The whirly, wild approach to finding the true meaning of a topic by circling around it using multiple terms and investigating their relations amongst one-another.
- I have the straight notion that whirls of meaning could be a powerful theoretical tool beyond dualism and dialectic, and that Wikis are an ideal instrument to create them. In this sense: Let’s create many whirls of meaning! – benni
The following is a very loosely and liberally translated excerpt from Entwurf einer Dialektik des Geistes, TeilhardDeChardin (1946):
- [en] In the course of its attempts to clarify and bring the universe around into coherency, human thinking does not only work within the familiar - it also proceeds with a succession of “back and forth” between the Known and the Less Known. Every progression made toward the understanding of the Less Known allows human thinking to recognize the Known better, and so on. This creates successive reflections of increasing insight; no continuous gushing, but a oscillating spark. These are the essential mechanics of our vision.
- [de] Im Laufe seiner Versuche, das Universum um sich herum zu klären und zur Kohärenz zu bringen, arbeitet das menschliche Denken nicht nur mit Hilfe wiederholten Tastens. es geht außerdem (Hervorhebung --Mi K?) mit einer Abfolge von “Hin und Her” zwischen dem Bekannten und dem weniger Bekannten vor: Jeder in Richtung nach oben in der Durchdringung des weniger bekannten verwirklichte Fortschritt erlaubt ihm, (durch Wiederabstieg) das Bekannte besser zu erkennen, um anschließend zu einer weiter vorangetriebenen Einsicht in das weniger Bekannte wieder emporzuschnellen; und so weiter in aufeinanderfolgenden Reflexionen. Kein kontinuierliches Sprudeln, sondern ein oszillierender Funke: dieser Art ist die Mechanik unseres Sehens. (TeilhardDeChardin : Entwurf einer Dialektik des Geistes, 1946)

Long ago - but it has something to it. Just my feeling.
I agree and like it. Just now, editing, I realize, “This is TeilhardDeChardin writing!”
I seriously think that often it’s the only possible way to communicate some ideas. You know, in the The Tao that can be described is not the real Tao way.
