Dimensional Exceptionist's Toolkit

BOOK DESCRIPTION

Nathan Coppedge virtually invented the discipline of logical exceptionalism known as exceptionism or typological exceptionism. This text is an intellectual triumph. As the seventh volume of the Dimensional Encyclopedia, it archetypally explores the concepts of coherence vs. incoherence and many related fields, while extending previously introduced concepts such as Coppedge’s method of categorical deduction and the generation of logic sentences. It also introduces a spattering of insights about proto- (and proto-proto) mathematics, and other areas which affect the tools and methodology of philosophers and scientists. More than just a run-of-the-mill manifesto, this is an imaginative and subtle work written in a lucid style. However, since it's subject is incoherence primarily, it will necessarily lack the cohesiveness found in artificially and systematically coherent works. Instead of offering a unified theory, it offers eclectic insights about many types of exceptions.

The Dimensional Book of Quotations (Unessential Criticism / Dimensional Critic's Toolkit)

BOOK DESCRIPTION

This text contains many unique quotations, newly formulated by the author to explain missing gaps in intellectual history, and with an eye towards the gestalt side of knowledge. Coppedge has been hailed as “[A] philosopher of this present age,” and in this work many aspects of his genius are reflected. In addition to being a collection of aphorisms, an appended section includes concepts from critical theory.

The Dimensional Defense Toolkit

BOOK DESCRIPTION

Mr. Coppedge studied weapons and military history extensively during his younger years. Things ranging from falchions and pepper guns to nuclear submarines, tanks, and ICBMs. In this brief guide are offered a multitude of tactics and perspectives on the concept of psychic and tactical warfare, with the notional object of keeping the peace in a civil society. An extensive manual on psychological warfare and two lists of further readings are also provided. FROM THE INTRODUCTION: I mean to write this book with the perfection of a fossil... I stop short of calling human nature random. I have been an advocate of strong distinctions which waver on the divide... It has certainly not been my object to decrease the faith in human ingenuity, and it is this belief in ingenuity which acquires the most probable support for my rhetorically-minded angle on war.

(The Doctrine of Meaning)

When the answer is neither extreme pleasure nor extreme pain, what emerges is meaning.

Meaning is neither precisely information, nor precisely psychology.

Meaning is neither spiritual nor virtuous, but it fulfills the criteria for both.

Meaning is a modality which gets results.

It is allowed to be complex, rational, spiritual, or philosophical to reach its aims.

If unsuccessful, the aims of meaning do not have products.

It is possible to imagine meaning without products, however that requires difficulty.

Meaning is like an old man who knows he can achieve youth.

Meaning is eager for results.

It is perplexed with its own advantageousness.

It is important not to make mistakes.

But the mistakes of meaning concern art and metaphysics.

They are not so directly concerned with the practical.

Meaning creates its own form of practicality.

Meaning is meta-practicality.

Life can be meaningful, by definition.

If we do not live by meaning, we die of insignificance.

Hence I say: ‘While I die I am dead’.

With meaning there is life, with life there is meaning.

Anyone can be an artist. Any artist can find meaning.

Anyone alive can wonder about metaphysics.

And metaphysics can have meaning.

With meaning there is life, and with life there is meaning.

Meaning is exponential. Knowledge is proverbial. Wisdom is ecstatic.
