Just wanted to add to your comme...nice post JJC. <br /><br />Just wanted to add to your comment from Serres on Angels:<br /><br />Caputo has a reading of email in light of Aquinas' angelology, which displaces the tekne/physis opposition as one from which we can't get any "mileage" anymore [this was his response to a question from an analytic philosopher in the audience of this talk who pointed out at Caputo's syllogisms were faulty--Caputo said yes they were, but true or not, we won't get any more mileage out of the opposition]. <br /><br />The mid. eng. lays here seem to me not just to point out how humans are always already pulsed through with matter such that sentience/nonsentience doesn't hold, or that matter has agency so much as that these things are tended as such--in terms of a husserlian gesture of returning back to the 'things themselves,' as a kind of ethical stance. The world of these lays or of Marie before these English poets already unfolds a _poetics_ by which essents appear--physis as poetic relations, the condensation of matter out of relations even into irreducibly different moments of it: not One vibrant matter energy, but finite events of irreducible configurations of matter as new and unique movements of physis encounterable thus as substance. I guess I just like the word 'being' more than the word life. I hope this doesn't make me the party pooper for the discussion of things/matter/obj-orient-ontology etc. which I'm glad to be a part of. I like its energy and impulse, but I still really like certain terms that seem to be about to become unfashionable yet again. Its like, agreeing at once with Derrida's critique of presence, but demanding we pay attention to Cosmos. Or something.dan remeinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13011645541207076650noreply@blogger.com
