Part 04: Seldon
on
‘Dialectical Categorial Progressions’ Series.
Categories
and
Their Units:
What Categories are NOT.
Dear Reader,
It
is my pleasure,
and my honor, as an elected member
of the Foundation Encyclopedia Dialectica [F.E.D.]
General Council, 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, Seldon’s commentaries on key Encyclopedia
Dialectica concepts of Seldonian Theory.
This 4th text in
this new such
series is posted herewith, together with
supporting text-images and diagrams
[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
–
“A category is not
a physical-spatial grouping of physical objects, close enough together in space
so that all of them can be seen by our naked eyes; all of them at once”
“A category is a human, mental grouping-together
of mental representations of, e.g., physical objects/units/«monads»,
many of which may be widely dispersed in physical space.”
“But we group these units together, in the “interior”
space of our imaginations, because of their mutual similitude; because of their
“kind”, of their ‘-ness’, that they share, despite their ‘‘‘individual
differences’’’.”

information regarding these
Seldonian insights, and to read and/or download, free
