The System begins?


The System begins with the immediate, and therefore without presuppositions, and therefore absolutely; the beginning of the System, that is to say, is the absolute beginning.
…How does the System begin with the immediate – that is, does it begin with it immediately?
The answer must of course be an unconditional ‘No’.
Concluding Unscientific Postscript (1846)
Kierkegaard, S. from The Kierkegaard reader
This quote was selected in honour of Arne Naess. Naess used it at the beginning of his book, ‘Ecology, Community and Lifestyle’. Naess has inspired me to exist more deeply in this world…I hope this Blog may inspire others also to gain/enhance their own wonder of place and existence.
