But looking at the quote "there is no thought which embraces all our thought" I took it as Ponty saying that we can not know everything about one single thought because our knowledge comes from experience and we experience many different things. Although some experiences may be more influential than others, it is that many different things we come in contact with that allow us to know what we know and that is why not just one experience can embrace all of our thoughts.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1471649638591328998.post-54143946232905507102012-03-31T20:04:19.894-07:002012-03-31T20:04:19.894-07:00Another thought-- would those not-concrete things ...Another thought-- would those not-concrete things be closer to the essences Ponty described?Kat Zacharyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09875144393050539617noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1471649638591328998.post-85704920994145684292012-03-31T20:02:22.515-07:002012-03-31T20:02:22.515-07:00So, do you think there will never be anything we c...So, do you think there will never be anything we can truly know? On the one hand, I definitely agree particularly in terms of more scientific and rigid knowledge (like gravity for example). But what about things that are less rigid? What about a feeling you have for another person or hope or something else equally as "not-concrete" idea? I don't think that Ponty (nor Heiddeger) really addresses this, but it's an interesting thing to think about. Can we find truth in things that are solid?Kat Zacharyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09875144393050539617noreply@blogger.com
