00432: Le Zero et l'Infini

Subject: Le Zero et l'Infini

=========================================================In his "Le Zero et l'Infini" (Zero and Infinity) Arthur
Koestler gives one of the best if not the best literary
description of Hegelian Dialectic commanding Gulag and
more generally any inquisition based regime.

Let's recall Hegelian "reasoning" at its roots:

"Whatever we assert about the Absolute, our assertion will
not be adequate and will call for negation. When we say
that Absolute is a Pure Being we do not attribute anything
to it, our statement is equivalent with saying that
Absolute is Nothingness. Thesis "Absolute is Being" leads
to antithesis "Absolute is Nothingness" and to synthesis
that Absolute is some synthesis of the two."

Koestler considers it as

"... a fallacy as naïve as a mathematical teaser, and yet
its consequences lead straight to Goya's Disasters, to the
reign of the guillotine, the torture chambers of the
Inquisition, or the cellars of the Lubianka."

Symbolizing with Koestler the Absolute Pure Being with
Infinity (I) and the Absolute Nothingness with Zero (0),
we may epress "some synthesis" as S = I * 0.

As many naïve mathematical teasers Hegel's Inquisition
algorithm rests upon illegal dividing by I and 0. They
are usually more or less cunningly camouflaged, but Hegel
would not care. Whatever he deigned to assert was
sacrosanct and calling it in question was a blasphemy
banning you from the Temple of Philosophy.

So, the (illegal) expressions

S / 0 = I; S / I = 0; S = I * 0;

are seemingly true for any S and substituting for S the
assertion "Inquisitor is always right", we have founded
and proved the Hegelian Inquisition Principle", as it has
been used explicitly, implicitly or by anticipation, by
all inquisitorial regimes.

NOTE: The whole discussion of Hegel's Dialectics has
strictly nothing to do with the Relativistic Dialectic.
My messages concerning it were meant as warning of
Antonio's surprising promotion of this most asinine
and criminal "ideology".

Georges.
