Advances in Dimensional Metaphysics Qua Mathematics

Major categories can be separated by what variable they take.

The result is a hierarchy.


Time takes extension or the state of dimension as a variable, and takes immortality as an irrational.

Quantity takes quality as a variable, and takes organization as an irrational.

Complexity takes quantity and quality as variables, and takes perfection as an irrational.

Pleasure, on the other hand, takes ‘dimensional’ (the quality of dimension) as a variable, and takes ‘pain’ as an irrational.

RECENT RELEASE: DIMENSIONAL PHENOMENOLOGIST'S TOOLKIT

BOOK DESCRIPTION

"Coppedge conceived dimensional phenomenology to be the ‘fourth dimension of dimensionism.’ The themes introduced cross boundaries between philosophy and psychology, spirituality and the life sciences, with a focus on what is most vitally important to experience: what we need to understand, how we feel, and in what ways we go about understanding and emoting. Coppedge addresses such themes as emotional meaning, intuitionism, existential mereology, and material semantics in this striking and colorful work, always with a view towards the methods and perceptions which are most exemplary of the phenomenological experience."

This title is available at Amazon HERE, or just search 'books' for 'dimensional encyclopedia' (6 others available on Philosophy, Psychology, Biology, Time Travel, Immortality, and Spell-Casting).

Today's Striking Quote from Dimensional Phenomenology

"There are no more magii on the mountain-tops, except in the movies. The Cola and popcorn has taken over. However, we are free to make a movie --- an imagination --- about the scenes we find on the surface of the popcorn, inside the ice cream are caves beyond our comprehension... [W]e still have a shred of imagination, the imagination for the nearsighted world of personal pleasure. Cinematic perspectives ... are abstractions of what we find most intimately meaningful to us: our sensations. To a phenomenologist, cinema is philosophy. And real philosophy, the philosophy of what we really know, is something beyond cinema."

----From a section titled "Cinema-Spective" in The Dimensional Phenomenologist's Toolkit by Nathan Coppedge

Nine Months Until My Book The Dimensional Phenomenology Toolkit Will be Published.

This book is the 4th volume of the Dimensional Encyclopedia.

Take heart that I found almost none of the concepts in the hour+ crash course on phenomenology unfamiliar. Add a little originality and an intellectual voice, and the effect is not destined to be very bad. The book is currently on schedule.

To celebrate my love for phenomenology, I will abbreviate some of the concepts and insights I derived from the crash course in phenonomenology video (I think a lot of student phenomenologists if they were being honest would say they never learned anything more about phenomenology than what that guy taught in the course).

Here are the full notes I took to the video. Some of these are my own theses:


NOTES ON PHENOMENOLOGY

*Time, consciousness.

*We cannot know the unknown.

*Can we decide that knowledge isn’t a formalism? Isn’t that like deciding that it is not specific? Generality might easily be an emotion, and an emotion might be incoherent.

*Incoherent emotions --- idea.

*At what point does the dialectic escape the problem?

*Problem of Eden --- shame ~ self-consciousness

*Escaping causal and nomological explanations such as laws of nature.


*Jeff Yeshimi ---- neuroscientist (?) who does phenomenology, connecting the two.


*Hiedeggar: there is no subject, then later he found it.

*The question of what it is----metaphysics.

*Husserl argues for physicalism, then insists objects were constructed.

*Moods disclose the content of reality.

*Moods do not explain anything objectively: psychology.

*The need to avoid objectivity --- the case of frustration without a source.


*Concept of Seeming.


*When we try to interpret our mind, this creates uncertainty about the content.

*The content is otherwise less uncertain, but qualified with the unknown.

*Theme of contrast. Neither here nor there.

*Experience requires an object for reality, but not for experience. Experience becomes unreal when it has no object. Immaterial objects are necessary in the sense that they are personal.

*Husserl: form versus substance, prefers form for explaining experience (intensional objects).

*If we don’t determine experience, then our objects are located in a kind of space and time (relevance).

*Real --- physical

*Raal -- flux

*Ideal---formal structures

*Eidetic

*Epoche --- focusing on the intensional content.

*Reduction ---- Husserl procedure to show experience, Merleau-Ponty says its impossible.

*Determinately indeterminate.

*Gnomatic explosion

*Adumbrating further possible experiences --- corruscation.

Best Phenomenology Quotes by Nathan Coppedge

"[In the process of analysis], [E]gressions become reflections, while analyses become embodiments".

"It can be seen that there are exceptional cases which describe worlds which are not cognitive, or thoughts which are not worlds, and this duplication is nonetheless like an axis admitting of intermediaries between the self and the world, similar to what Latour called intension, but which I prefer to call impressionism (italics kept in original)"

"True pleasure is such that it cannot be faulted in its degree"

"Space in some sense, is more exponential than time"

"the study (of phenomenology) has been classically divided into informal paradises and formal obsessions".

"(Phenomenology is) ... a subject of anthropological proportions"

"[I]n some sense, in phenomenology, everything is alive"

"Much depends on the reducibility of an object that only succeeds by infinite extension"

"Without meaninglessness, there would be measureless pride in any act. But who is to say that the meaningless absolutely exists? Apparently, life is an act of pride"

All quotes come from the as-yet-unpublished Dimensional Phenomenologist's Toolkit, scheduled to be released in 2016.
