[D-G] Fw: Concepts seen as functions (malgosia askanas)

[Super Dragon]

Hi Harald
In WIP, D and G also suggest that a concepts are tools and part of becoming a philsopher is to be able to discern which ones work. I am not a philospher as i wouldn#t be wasting my time in this kind of discussion if I already had that kind of discernment. Hence I still need images sometimes for abstract things to make sense to me and to compare them with other syetems of thought. I think it less a crime against thought to be open about being a learner in the sea of philosophy (perhaps wearing unfashionable armbands) than apppeal to Lacan to interpret D and G to make myself look cool! The object a is one of the lacanian concepts retained by D and G but the underpinning logic of the Big Other is not (unless you subscribe to a wholly anthropomorphic understanding of outside thought). There is a sense in which your appeal sounds like keeping your head above water (while denying the supports). Why?

Dear group

In"what is philsophy" D&G calim that teh concepts and their components
are "flight over" with an infinite velocity.

Beside that, they ascribe thinking in images to the "old"
(wise) and concepts are the more "modern" abstractive way of thinking.

Concerning Lacans object "a" I like to inform you
that a Lacan group is available on driftline.


MfG Harald
