The Nature of Philosophy

The Nature of Philosophy as Symbols; Primitive Conceptualization and Language as Symbol Assertion; Philosophy as Binary Computation of Assertions; Philosophy of Philosophy
The simple truth is that all philosophical assertions require resting on an initial primitive or primitives, that by nature is purely an assertion, and this primitive or primitive is primitive strictly because it is a localized starting point by which to measure and reveal the philosophical assertion.
There is no rule determining what primitive(s), of all possible primitives, are asserted as foundational. What remains of the primitive is the boundary of language, as conceptual mediation through symbols, thus by degree the primitive of all philosophies is the process of the limits of the language asserted.
This primitive is the process of language itself, as language is the constant mediator of the limits of concepts, and as such is tautological in process as language is applied to language and the resulting concepts, that scale from said language, are concepts applied to concepts.
Thus in these respects philosophy is language via language, concept via concept, language via concept and concept via language resulting in:
The recursion, cyclicality or self reference, of the process of:
Language through language
Concept through concept
Where the scaling of each results as the relative limits of the other as
Language is limited by concept
Concept is limited by language
Where by degree what remains as the primitive of philosophy as the boundary of the symbol itself, given both language and concept by degree of being images are symbolic. The basic assertion of a symbol or symbols in the act of mediation of attention itself for by the symbol form is given to the distinctions asserted within philosophy and its various degrees as the fields of science, mathematics/logic, literature and the arts.
Truth and falsity, conditional by design of there expressions of alignment between contexts, are not just established by the assertion of symbols but effectively are contained as the symbol itself for by the symbol there remains an inherent conditionality from which truth and falsity are revealed as this conditionality allows for the limits of what is and is not to be distinct.
The derivation or synthesis of symbols is the derivation or synthesis of language/concepts thus form a triadic nature, if left as static elements, but reveals a fourth nature as the event of distinctions itself from which each are derived and synthesized.
In these respects philosophy, at its proto-logical or primitive state, is the event of distinction via symbolism as both language and concept thus revealing philosophy itself as less of an strict intellectual or intuitive endeavor and more of a cultivation of the various awareness of the distinctions themselves and the distinction of awareness as awareness being the primal state via the act of attention which mediates and allows for, while often time dissolving, philosophy.
This nature of philosophy reveals a recursive process of symbolism distinction, via the act of attention, thus effectively relegating it to a patterned process by which language and concept are given, or relieved of, form.
As to this nature of philosophy what becomes emergent is the various degrees by which all other abstract and empirical studies becoming embodied within philosophy, subsumed by philosophy, by degree of sharing its nature.
This nature, expressed fundamentally, as the assertion of a primitive reveals an immeasurable amount of primitive from which a starting point to philosophical assertion may be chosen or determined. This is given the foundation of any foundation, the primitive of any primitive, is the event of the localization of all possible distinctions to the asserted foundation or primitive.
What remains is not only philosophical discourses, of the various sorts, being dialogues between differing primitives but also the justification of a philosophy as the scaling of the primitive or foundation in accords to the localized distinction of it presented.
There is no rule or law to determine a foundation or primitive outside of its occurence as the foundation or primitive thus revealing the foundation/primitive to be the event of distinction as itself of the foundation/primitive. In these respects the only foundation/primitive thus underlies and transcends all philosophical assertions is the event of distinction.
However both foundation and primitive cease to be as distinction allows each to be distinct as 'foundation' and 'primitive' thus revealing only the act of revealing distinctions and the transcendence of this revealing by degree of the event of distinction of 'revealing'.
Under these terms philosophical discourse, and the degrees of philosophy enveloped within this discourse, is mere contradiction and paradox between and of asserted primitives/foundations. What remains is the event of assertion as the event of distinction itself via symbolism.
Philosophical discourses, and the degrees of philosophical discourses, are inherently bound to never solve the problems they assert as the cessation of the problem is the cessation of the boundaries of the philosophy itself from which both the problem and the philosophy gain identity from their mutual relations.
It is the assertion of the problem which leads philosophy to give rise to is own form relative to the problem being asserted and by this very nature the nature of the problem itself is the assertion of the problem as the problem thus revealing the problem as nothing but a structural tautology by itse very nature.
This same structural tautology of the identity of the problem is the same structural tautology of the identity of the primitive asserted to solve such a problem. In further respects the alternation of primitive and problem assertion is a recursive sequence, similar in structure to basic binary code, as
problem leads to primitive leads to problem leads to primitive....
or
primitive leads to problems leads to primitive leads to problem....
And what remains of the fundamental structure, to the patterned process of philosophy, is binary code as alternating opposite states of primitive and problem. This basic binary code, which reflects itself within a dual expression of "dualism", reveals itself in the various dichotomies of philosophy in the asserted primitives/foundations and corresponding problems of:
Mind/Matter
Quality/Quantity
Idealism/Empiricism
Transcendentalism/Realism
Foundationalism/Anti-Foundationalism
Dualism/Non-Dualism
Static Forms/Process
Being/Non-Being
Presence/Absence
Absolutism/Relativism
.....so on and so forth...
What remains of philosophy, and its degrees, is a binary code of symbols at the primitive level, with the binary code of symbols varying in accords to the emergence of a localized primitive or foundation from which the inherent binary process occurs. In these respects the structure of philosophy and basic computation mirror eachother with this mirroring effectively subsuming itself as another binary function.
Philosophy thus reveals itself as the event of distinction being a patterned process as the nature of the binary reveals a pattern and the process of the binary reveals the process. Each of these is subsumed by the event of distinction as an event can relatively be observed as either statically or as process given the asserted condition by which such things can be measured.
Even the nature of dialectical philosophy and non-dialectical reveals this same patterned process. In these respects all philosophy is effectively a mobius strip in both form and function, and can be symbolically revealed as this, and as such is an expression of topological limits via the limits of the nature of the symbols that derive and synthesize it but also ultimately reveal it.
The act of asserting a distinction is the act of asserting philosophy and the various degrees of philosophy contained by itself as itself. In these respects the foundations/primitives that derive philosophy, become secondary by nature to the tautological event of the philosophy itself from which it is revealed as the scaling of the foundation/primitive unto a relatively deeper layered foundation/primitive for another philosophy.
What remains invariant is the act of attention itself, from which philosophy emerges and dissolves, with the degree of attention corresponding to the depth of distinction said philosophy reveals.
In these respects the majority of philosophy is a symbolic attention labrynthe with the labrynthe itself being the nesting of tautologies, in one respect, or functional recursion, in another. The minority of philosophy is the architecture of attention itself revealing itself as attention.
