PHL217H1 Lecture Notes - Chiasmus, Counterpoint, Concluding Unscientific Postscript To Philosophical Fragments
Document Summary
Indirect communication plays an integral part in ks research. His pseudonym is based on a medieval monk. The text is called postscript, which is ironic because a postscript is usually short, whereas ks postscript is dense and enormous. The suggestion taken for concluding in the title is thought to be a conclusion to his own career because he intended to retire from academia to becoming a pastor. The title, unscientific, uses this term in opposition to science in general, but also to refer to the hegelian system. Hegelian system is the most cogent attack on the subjectivity of truth. The idea of a fragment that is something that is not part of a systematic whole. For there to be truth, substance must become subject. Objective thinking seems to be reflection on some sort of objectivity that can be expressed in the appropriate word.
