iso-belonging across modes of life

---

Finding isomorphic relations is fascinating. The eight short parts of “iso-belonging” prospect my interest in isomorphic thinking relative to aspects of belonging, from a horizon of “a pragmatic sense of life” (previous note here) to conceptual modeling of action.

fun with conceptual venturing

Two discussions, on a pragmatic sense of life and belonging, continue my ventures into ways of which We are “human,” prospecting part of a holism of differential scales of being, from inner psychality to political life.

doing philosophy as close reading

This is a very close reading of a Heideggerian scholar’s essay on why he regards Heidegger as “mystical,” which is invalid (in my view), but admirably discussed by him. (The author, Richard Capobianco, is an acquaintance.)

My reading may seem tedious at times, but his essay is available by link (and PDF download) at the top of my discussion, for following along.

I’m pleased that I’ve reached the point I’ve long anticipated where posting becomes more frequent. But I don’t log how active I am online, including comments at Washington Post articles (e.g., Ukraine war), comments at the Facebook/Heidegger Forum and posting there which is sometimes copied to my Facebook/Heidegger page (e.g., “Truth as such is not yet truth of being”); and posting to X (e.g., more on the Ukraine aggression)

Coming soon is a link to discussing a differential scale of being “human,” a pragmatic holism, from inner psychality to political life. That was mentioned a year ago (exactly) at “path marking”: “I understand person-al being as a continuum: psychal, [inter]personal, cultural, conceptual, social, and democratically political. (In my notes, I abbreviate that as the PpcCsd continuum.)“
