Meera Atkinson

*A series of playful somewhat ironic cut-ups (being based on Simone's paper and the following discussion so not exactly the original thought that defines aphorisms)

A philosophy of being is the question of nature asked through the flesh that we are. 

Carnal being: man (sic) is not a transcendent being but a being in the circle of the world of non-mechanistic, non-vitalist lizards. 

Humanity emerges not as another substance but as another being; my body is the field in which my sensations are localised; I am the place from which I see. 

If the subject/object relation is blurred in my body it is blurred in the world=the theory of the flesh=the flesh of the world. The flesh is human, the flesh is animal, the flesh is inexplicable=inexplicable. 

The very openness of sensible being is dimensionality: forces of encroachment and interweaving with animality and nature. We anticipate through who we are. The flesh is the realisation of that engagement. Interwoven.
