"Whitehead's Transcendental Cosmology" By James Bradley
I’ve been thoroughly enjoying Collected Essays in Speculative Philosophy: James Bradley (2021; edited by Sean J. McGrath). Bradley is criminally under-appreciated, but this collection is sure to change that. While reading McGrath’s wonderful introduction, I noted his footnote (p. 7) about an as yet untranslated article Bradley published in the French journal Archives de philosophie, wherein he…
Weirdest variety of positivist is someone who doesn’t even hold socially radical positions. Like ok, get rid of folk concepts in favor of a scientific worldview, dissolving all prior superstitions and gaining a more sober and realistic understanding of how we behave—but we all just basically still live the same way together.
Propitious oats—not necessarily the same thing as auspicious oats. But inauspicious oats are necessarily NOT propitious oats.
World is both light world and dark world, similar and same, other than and alien, good and evil, bad and great—World is one thing.
God is both man, woman, lizard, mud, bird and crust; multimodal and yet one, body born from other bodies but bodiless with images of the stars, shaped like shapeliness yet shapeless too; many words and accounts but one wording and accounting found in wordless and accountless things; God is naked and yet wears robes, voiceless but speaks in pitches and tones, tombless but resting in an eternal tomb, living with the living in the mental world built from interpreting the signs of the forest world to search and look for potential forms of what will come ahead and before... and summer heat absorbed in a slab of stone.

Hermes: The cosmos, beautiful but not good; for it is material and easily affected, and although it is first among things that change, it is second among things that are and it is incomplete.

Creation is the movement of all matter.

Memorial Day three day weekend… went hiking and camping in forests near West Virginia, had Brazilian style BBQ on a campfire grill, listened to the sounds of a murmuring night river and then the chorus of bird song early in the dawn from all ends, the occasional droplet of dew from the trees, then Sunday evening had a backyard grill out, Monday morning I went out hiking in the park nearby my house and then had a nice date at a tea house, read about the formal properties of Whitehead’s categoreal scheme, saw the hermetic nous reflected in the sweat of a hot May day with the sun diffusing over the sidewalks and stone. … And now I go back to work
In the German version of Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door, Toadette is named “T. Tanja”, despite already being an established character at that point, debuting in Mario Kart: Double Dash (which released a year prior). This appears to be an oversight on part of the translation team, as in every other version, she has Toadette’s respective regular name in that language.
