«Aoristos Dyas» [“Indefinite Dyad”] -- ‘Seldon on Plato’.
Dear Reader,
It
is my pleasure,
and my honor, as an officer of the Foundation Encyclopedia
Dialectica [F.E.D.]
Office of Public Liaison, and
as a voting member of F.E.D.,
to share, with
you, from
time to time, as
they
are approved
for public release by
the F.E.D.
General Council, key
excerpts
from the internal writings, and from the internal sayings, of our co-founder,
Karl Seldon.
The presently latest such release is posted below [Some E.D.
standard edits have been applied, in the version presented below, by the editors of
the F.E.D. Special Council for the Encyclopedia, to the
direct transcript of our co-founder’s discourse].
Seldon --
Simplicius, Metaphysics 187a: “...‘according to Plato the One and the
Indefinite Dyad [M.D.: «Aoristos Dyas»], which he spoke of as [the] Great and [the] Small,
are the Principles of all things and even [of] the Forms [M.D.: i.e., of the «Arithmoi Eide-tikoi»] themselves.’…
[emphases added].
“What is Plato’s
Mystical Principle, that of the «Aoristos Dyas» [“Indefinite Dyad”],
after it has been submitted to a dialectical, immanent critique, and divested of
its irrational, mystical form?”
“We hold that it is but an abstract distillation and
mystification from the observation, and from the assertion, of the ‘‘‘double-edged-ness’’’
of realities in general; of the immanent, ‘internal duality’
within each thing -- of the ‘intra-duality’, of the ‘endo-duality’, of the ‘intro-duality, in short, of the ineluctable ‘SELF-duality’ of things -- of that very ‘self-duality’
which is the cause of all of real dialectic
itself.”
