“... One
is likely, after learning
even just our starting system, that of the NQ_ dialectical «organon», to find oneself, for a time, sustainedly oscillating
between seeing it_ as complex, and/versus seeing it_ as simple -- indeed, between seeing it_ as far too complex, and, then again, seeing it_ as far too simple.”
“And rightly so.”
“Seen at only the ‘gene-ric’
point of view, at only the vantage point of it s
single «genos», i.e., at just the vantage point of it s abstracted unity, it_ IS far too simple.”
“Seen at only the ‘speci-fic’ point of view, at only the vantage point of it s more ‘thought-concrete’
‘specificities’, i.e., at
just the vantage point of it s many «species» -- at just the vantage point of the vast diversity which it s generality
and generalization encompasses and embraces -- it_ IS far too complex. ...”
