Hierarchy Index Cards - H
Hegel
Index-Card-H-27-14 DEH Hegel’s categories are I think somewhat arbitrary & artificial, but his insistence on concreteness is admirable. I make sure of concreteness by making my hierarchy one of spiritual substances, monads, than which nothing can be more concrete.
Index-Card-H-27-20 DEH In our mental growth abstraction & concreteness develop together. We have advanced to knowledge of SS & atoms, Universe & electrons, Life & cells. Abstraction is necessary to integration. Mind, no less than body, is catabolic as well as anabolic. The negative & positive paths are correlated. Vague generalities are no good without detailed analysis. Minutiae are no good without the broad view. Anabolism & katabolism determine one another’s pace.
