Dialectic into D. Logos: Exploring the Phenomenal Ontology of Socratic Questioning
Socratic questioning is not about objective answers or subjective opinions, but about a Heideggerian phenomenological ontology. It flows between shining into intelligible appearance and withdrawing back into the background. It is grounded in al-Afea, the Greek concept of unconcealment. Dialectic into D. Logos involves perspectival and participatory knowing, non-propositional thinking, and a sense of the no-thingness of being. It cultivates the orientation of finite transcendence, bringing together internalization and indwelling. The practices involve theoria, internalizing externality, and the reciprocal opening of internal and external realization.
