Abstraction, according to Saussure, is not only necessary but it is our ability to speak and think: speaking is thinking and thinking is speaking.

However, instead of the &#8220;weak&#8221; condemning the &#8220;strong&#8221; for being what they are, namely &#8220;strong,&#8221; when they play on the weak&#8217;s home field.

		<description><![CDATA[Part I Abstraction?  Simply put: a word with many nuances.  The Oxford English Dictionary defines it as such: “1.             Trans. To withdraw, deduct, remove, or take away (something); euphem. to take away secretly, slyly, or dishonestly; to purloin. b.             absol. To deduct; to derogate; to take away c.            Chem.

		<description><![CDATA[Hegel’s “Logic” In Hegel’s “Logic” (Part one in his Encyclopedia of the Philosophical Sciences), he posits a metaphysic of a becoming, or the idealistic dialectic, one of profound implications for theology. The dialectic holds Philosophy in a cyclical state of change, very reminiscent of St. Gregory of Nyssa’s definition of human nature – a state [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=bekenner.wordpress.com&amp;blog=13224640&amp;post=54&amp;subd=bekenner&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Fichte’s major project – known as the Wissenschaftslehre, or the “Study of Scientific Knowledge” – responds to Kant’s Idealism and critical philosophy and has been traditionally analyzed as the segue between Kant and Hegel in German Idealism. Although probably not intentionally, his Vocation of Man provides a summary of his ideas. He published the work [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=bekenner.wordpress.com&amp;blog=13224640&amp;post=48&amp;subd=bekenner&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Kant’s ingenuity certainly does not stem from his system of Metaphysics, when, in his opinion, the objects of Metaphysics remain mostly unknowable. On the other hand, his epistemology shall forever merit praise because he not only revolutionized the object-subject distinction in Copernican fashion but also saved Reason from the English empiricists. However, if the objects [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=bekenner.wordpress.com&amp;blog=13224640&amp;post=37&amp;subd=bekenner&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>
