About
This blog is a fragmental collection of thoughts on essences and forms, their transformations and how we perceive them. In particular, I am interested in the process of transformation in its temporal dimension and spatial architecture. In a process, essences are always now this, now that. Yet the process is a unifying phenomenon that brings coherence to fragmental bits of reality.
The inspiration for the title and the running theme through this blog comes from the fragments of the pre-Socratic philosopher Heraklitus and the numerous other thinkers he inspired. This collection of thoughts is an enterprise to unify my personal fragments of intellectual inquiry into classical scholarship, political philosophy and intelligence analysis, and more recently – risk phenomenology, cognitive science and architectural design.
συλλάψιες· ὅλα καὶ οὐχ ὅλα, συμφερόμενον διαφερόμενον, συνᾷδον διᾷδον καὶ ἐκ πάντων ἓν καὶ ἐξ ἑνὸς πάντα
Collections: things whole and not whole, what is drawn together and what is drawn asunder, the harmonious and the discordant. The one is made up of all things, and all things issue from the one.
Heraklitus, Fragments, B10
