“The absolute affirms itself through its own self negation.”
Nicely does away with any Hegelian notions.
But what does it add to philosophic understanding?
Like perhaps by being hidden in a myth?
First, of course, is it this Kitaro: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kitaro_Nishida
Or the Japanese recording artist?
We’ll need a context. Or, sure, someone can try to convince me that a context isn’t really necessary at all to make this true absolutely.
But if it is necessary, what particular absolute affirming itself in what sense by way of it’s own negation.
