Over the last few years on /lit/, there was a brilliant yet unstable individual who managed to write original and penetrating works on the topics of Charles Sanders Peirce and metaphysics. People could recognize him with his obsession on pain, the relationship of consciousness and unconsciousness, his explanations of Aristotle and Peirce, etc. He spent years teasing a magnum opus. Finally, he published it, in which (I am not able to give the content justice) he was able to explain the unit of ontology, the object, as being a dyad of two subjects, identity and difference, and then explain how the "Firstness" of object builds into "Secondness" and finally "Thirdness" (the first true, "self-standing") category of reality and then spell out how this leads to the problem of infinite semiosis. The following was the link to the essay: https://sorceroussuppositions.substack.com/p/unlocking-meta-reality-the-subjectUnfortunately, I wasn't able to read the article in one go due to real life obligations. I knew it was brilliant, and it needed to be fully digested. Then, he suddenly deleted his entire Substack as I was 2/3rds into the essay, and my cache had reset so I was unable to reload the tab that I had opened. He went missing, and then came back a year later scatterbrained and in a state of mild psychosis, obsessing over quantum mechanics and other topics while distancing himself from his original insight. I wish there was more to say. I've never seen a better work of substance metaphysics and category theory that genuinely progressed the conversation from Aristotle to Kant to Peirce. I was able to witness it on /lit/. And now it's gone, it's not coming back, and only an impressionistic shadow remains of what it could have been. I don't have what it takes to reconstruct it in its fullest glory. I don't think anybody else does either. It feels bad man.
>>25251379buy an ad, you cock sucking nigger.
>>25251418An ad for what, brainlet? I have nothing to advertise. The link doesn't even work.
Reminder that Pierce, in his own confession, accidentally reinvented Neoplatonism—just as Kant just reinvented Plato (but a dumber version).Pierce the accidental German Idealist.
>>25251379As a writer pierce’s writings feel especially scattered across a wide variety of topics but part of a unifying trend is that pierce was partly working in the new statistical mechanical universe of gibbs, of a new universe of chance that began showing through while pierce was writing
>>25251434Kant asked the strict question "how do you know your reason reaches reality rather than just imposing its own structure. This changed philosophy forever to the point where they named this point in history copernican revolution. Or maybe that isnt true and no one ever read plato before kant.
>>25251379>magnum opus>slopstack article Kek
>>25251434There is a superficial similarity to Plato in that he claims form is already present in the mind a priori, but the entire crux of Kant's philosophy is that these forms are NOT something 'out there' that objects partake of, which is the polar opposite of Plato>>25251930Some of the greatest philosophical works are notes cobbled together and edited postmortem
>>25252065>Some of the greatest philosophical works are notes cobbled together and edited postmortempiercefag died?
>>25251930Man, I know I'm being a bit dramatic, but it was a really good essay, anon.>>25252069I'm not gonna lie, I would not be surprised. He did not seem to have a stable life, physically or mentally.
>>25251379> it was the greatest in the world> and this is just> a tribute

He woulda figured out that shit quick asf instead a constructing a wholeass ontology from Pierce's literary corpus
>>25251418Fucking this. I am sick of /lit/ being used as ad space by shitty wannabe fake writers.
>>25251927>no one ever read plato before kant.They literally didn't. He was unknown to the scholastics and not well studied before Neokantians and 19th century hermeneutics.It was due to Post-Kantians reading Neoplatonists that Plato was more recognized directly for what he is.>how do you know your reason reaches reality rather than just imposing its own structure.Is the topic, literally, of half the dialogues.
>>25251434Maybe if you squint hard and don't care about actually talking about something substantial, sure.
>>25251434He was well aware of Hegel, and appreciated him.
>>25251930fucking kekthis board isn't real
>>25254207What's wrong with Substack? Where else is he going to publish his work, especially as an ostensibly white man?
>>25254347academic journalacademic publishersmall publishing houseself-publishing / print on demand
>>25254347If his work were of any philosophical seriousness he would keep them as handwritten notes, and in need of publishing (which there is none, he's a voice to be heard in philosophy in the same way that any old man in the street is) the serious course of action would be to print and publish the work himself, which isn't really difficult to do.
>>25254367>>25254449tryhard counterproductive faggot shityou guys are such blowhards lmao. none of these things are more effective than making a Substack.
>>25251426why reply to racists when you can report them.ok have fun, sweetie
