Symbolizing Existence - Metalithikum III (Paperback)

Symbolizing Existence deals with the current rapidly happening "deterritorialization" of everything which was once regarded stable and binding. What we today regard as statistically encoded information is capable to explicate and index the entire realm of what can be expressed and represented through a cascade of geometrical, functional, or finally logified schemes. We are currently experiencing a rapid loss of "grounding" of that which we once considered binding in our cultural and intellectual history. How can we obtain an articulate, cultivate way of thinking about "instances" that does not fall back into a schematic model Platonism (thereby falling behind Plato), and that does not remain enmeshed in an Aristotelian realization dynamics with a naturalism organized by original genus, kinds, and specific marks of distinction? The central phenomenon considered was the technological process of doping material: At the quantum level, a particle or its representation, the point, is no longer "that which has no parts" (Euclid).
