[Xmca-l] Re: Anniversary for Sakharov's Essay

[Annalisa Aguilar]

Actually Andy, we are a little bit in agreement, maybe even more than a little.


There is the word and the meaning. Word is different than meaning. Meaning is not word.


To point out your sentence: "In a sense, ethics and moral are what is not cause and effect."


"Sense" points to what is human. Sense distinguishes in a field of perception. Cause and effect are independent of sense. The words "ethics" and "morals" and their meanings to which they point are how we "make sense" of cause and effect, that is, to make cause and effect human.


The pot is clay, but clay is not the pot (because clay can be not-pot, i.e. a plate), but also if the pot shatters the pot is no more, the clay remains.


Kind regards,


Annalisa
