Readings:

  •       Chap 22

o    Talks about facts and hypotheses – Euclidean geometry – mathematics is suddenly uncertain. If geometry is wrong (cornerstone of logic) – nothing is certain. Relates it to quality. Infinite number of hypotheses -> infinite number of facts. Hierarchy of facts – more general fact is worth more. Relates to motorcycle: beauty – well integrated and minimal, like relationship between facts. Phaedrus doesn’t seem insane when compared with French philosopher – parallel to this thinker. Absolute space and time: meet in relativity – depends on observer. Absolute substance: mass and energy are interchangeable. Euclidean and non-Euclidean geometry – curvature of space – bending of light due to gravity. Quality subjective vs objective – time factors into quality.
