Reading Group: 01 November 2011


Next Tuesday we continue with the second half of Chapter 3: The Phases of Concrescence, pages 54 to 70.

Last time, we discussed the first two phases, namely (a) conformal feelings and (b) conceptual feelings. The constitution of an actual entity is a product, both of other actual entities that form its environment (physical feelings) and the potentiality embodied by eternal objects (conceptual feelings). The former gives the object an element of contingency, while the latter crafts the necessity of its being.

Now we move to the third phase, i.e., (c) comparative feelings, which may be either simple or complex.
