Eduardo Gameiro’s Reviews > A Philosophy of Solitude > Status Update

A good example of the danger of allowing psychology to usurp (...) philosophy can be seen in the way we are all bullied now by the advocates of sex-freedom and sex-shamelessness. What a ridiculous pass to have come to, when a mere (...), soon-to-vanish fashion of current thought, with its humorous chat about “complexes," can assume such preposterous authority (..) as the last word of intellectual enlightenment!

Yes! That “Nothing” which you spoke of, as the only thing left, turns out to be that Hegelian “Not-Being” which is the same as “Being.” Extract the essence of these two things — your blank mind and the light on the side of the door — and you get that mysterious Becoming, in other words the self encountering the not-self, which if it is not the Absolute is as near to that mystery as we are ever likely to come.
