Attempt of a Man without Attributes
The alternative attempt is: man or man made of air. But once we succumb the terror of that prohibition to think over what is already thinking about the given, you are accepting the false and intended to entertain men and things themselves.
Theodor. W. Intervention of the young Adorno Jarpa
Writing an essay is like defusing a bomb, a long, nervous, tense and adrenaline, and foremost an attempt at the enormity of the enterprise.
Art or Science, Tentative or concretion. We rehearsed the unfinished, fragmentary, processes. Never - or the worst thing - the great truth, one that in this draft can not - or should - be designed.
The object is transformed from our perspective, the object and subject (trials) in a single bound, sailing in a sea of \u200b\u200bdoubt. That part of it. the confusing maze that tempts the subject object.
Reflection Reflect on what point is it doable? What's an essayist? To what ultimate divorce of Art, Science and History as involved as object?
What the world lies, trying to decipher the test. Open the thing, though it all very distant. The attempt to reflect their real intentions : rehearse, rehearse, rehearse ... work to be performed with great courage and fear. " The current objection to the trial, namely that it is fragmentary and accidental, no further postulated given the nature of the whole, and thus the identity of subject and object, so it behaves as if it were actually held everything. "Adorno sees this fragment of a fragment study (Literature Notes: The test as a way ) the power supply in vain as they actually try what is sought - or found - eternity is to give what you can not own it. Ironically, as it would for the old Lukács: "The attempt to encompass the incomprehensible."
In this game of mirrors between object and subject, testing and trials, all we can hope for is the way . Since this is the key to success in a business where there is no conclusion, but in the moment we put the final point, it becomes overwhelming in encouraging a sense even if only temporary and accidental.
Much of this was already in play at the dawn of the Renaissance, where the man was becoming the center of the world, and therefore had to think from the center and the center. Our father was born - I'll take his paternity but not deserve it, and I deserve it - the father of modern test: Montaigne with its
launched Now the question is: What is there after Montaigne? Will the essayist embedded in society to think about it?
Montaigne launched the first question that throughout history has become a plague that every one who dares to disturb the art of finishing the unfinished. In all that we come together.
The accuracy of the assay is in progress, which pushes beyond himself and not the obsession of a treasure hunter hunting grounds. Try to play with freedom (NO = NO PERFECTION CONCRETION) and from our liberal approach to follow.
Build the essay is an attempt not really tempting to get lost in the maze, leaving it to enter into us merge subject and object.
Adorno responds to the third rule Cartesian "brutally contradicts the way test since this part of the complex, not as simple and previously by himself." He turned on lights, Adorno is revealing, his response was Cartesian studies, does not otherwise explain Test the hard work, we are doomed to make the eternal epic failure as Ginsberg would say.
The trial for his attempt to cover the whole lack of specificity, to be made from the most complex, not intended to be finished. Starting from the abstract to their greater cause all this maze of uncertainties that offers us an epic rehearsal, the greater the degree of abstraction of the object, the smaller, less clear are the tools that will be the subject to start reflection.
Free abstraction proposed by the test, it is undoubtedly what attracts us to him, that feeling of emptiness only manages to increase the knowledge and tenacity to time to reflect.
I have entitled this brief essay Attempt of a Man without Attributes for the simple reason that our attempts to never feed attributes in our wretched minds, something that sounds so bleak, is - of course - from another perspective, a hymn of hope: "The ingenuity the student is not satisfied, and even socks, but what difficult and formidable, is wiser than the adult pedantry with threatening calls to mind a finger to first understand how simple , before taking up that other complex itself is what attracts him. This delay knowledge serves only to prevent it. "
Every word I stole from Adorno, of all those highlighted in bold, is presented as a necessity at work in young people want to swallow the world, that force is the only one that breaks down barriers, however high and strong that they see no greater attribute than knowledge, of which as I wanted to make clear, I have clearly not, otherwise this would not be the Attempt of a Man Without Qualities.
a couple of weeks ago when we were being introduced in the history of the trial, where some more surprised than others, were left stunned by the sharp response from the teacher that the essay as a genre is born with Montagine, it a seconds for a naive student - whose name I do not remember, "launched his frustration So what is the Poetics Aristotle or Letter to Horace Pisones [1] ? The teacher's response came quickly: they are treated aesthetics. Differentiation is only now that they see, blatantly and shamelessly steal what Adorno robbed Max Bense, language and thought: "So, the difference between a trial of a treaty. Write essays that make up the experience, which makes and stir, questions, feels, looks, its object through reflection, that part to him from various vertienentes and gathers their spiritual eyes what you see and give voice to all that the subject can see under the conditions agreed and made to write. "
As well - almost perfectly - Bense says are those components that make attempt to enter the company of what is never closed or is completed, tested.
Returning to the treatise on aesthetics, I exemplify Poetics of Aristotle as the quintessential aesthetic treatise, which fulfills the function Capital Works, dialogue and the establishment are out of this, except for some exceptions they change the dramatic times in Shakespeare or subsequent fracture Romantics made against Poetics. The test under any search terms is a major work, not work with absolute truth, and therein lies their usefulness, become a stone mosaic, with other trials, to multiply, are confirmed and confined. Trials were looking for each other, talking and being constantly refuted. Never - however much you try - a trial managed to become a major work to preach the truth, and passing, this ceases to be attempted. Tentative happiness lacks a high degree of negative Never acquired sufficient knowledge that our sorrow is infinite.
The Don Juan of knowledge, no philosopher or poet has been discovered. A man who has no love for the things he knows, but has talent, desire and taste for hunting and intrigues of knowledge - to climb to the highest and most distant stars in it! - Until finally no longer nothing left to hunt. Except as quite painful knowledge, as does the drinker, you end up drinking absinthe and brandy. So in the end the Don Juan of knowledge becomes infatuated from hell - is the ultimate knowledge that seduces him. You may also disappointed as hell, like all things known! And then would have to stay still for all eternity, firmly nailed to the disappointment, turned himself into stone guest, with great desire to a dinner of knowledge, he never served! -Since this whole world of things no longer has any bite to offer the hungry. Neither etzsche was right. Tantalus suffered evil.
[1] Both texts studied in the previous branch was on the poetry from the poets. (Except of course Aristotle not being a poet, his poetry was used as an introduction to the course.)
