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’’’.”
