Hi
To be aware of change do we first need to grasp duration
and pattern and thingness? To do this we need to invent
a whole realm of ideas about form and law and duration.
So we create our own ideal realm to match what seems
to be an ideal realm behind experience. How aware could we be
until we get this inner realm of reflection going? In this sense
intellect emerges from new patterns being created via all the
SQ leading up to humans. But, of course, we find that our
humanly created ideal realm seems to match that realm which
has enabled a 4 level reality to emerge prior to and up to
self-conscious mankind. Clearly all the SQ prior to intellectual
mankind has benn actively produced, but intelligently
produced? These ideas embodied in SQ, Hegel would say,
are immaterial forms of a non-subjective kind, only a very different
sort of subject could be a source of ideas that exist prior to
actuality. Such a concept evokes traditional notions of god
or absolute spirit. Where god is the potentiality that underlies
any SQ that is able to become incarnate. Here there is only the identity
of a One with no contradiction and no presence in a world of actuality
that of necessity (by being finite) is full of contradiction. Interestingly
this idea of something underlying and outside of reality that is full
of potential is very similar to Aristotle's concept of matter.
