0011 What is the relation between the following two nested forms?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a>
Figure 03<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Remember that democracy1<\/sub> is the potential of a state arising from self-governing people1<\/sub><\/em> and leviathan1<\/sub> is the potential of a state capable of protecting us (from one another)1<\/sub>.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

0012 Enlightenment liberals know that each nested form does not emerge from and situate the other.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The normal contexts are different.  For example, the word, “nature”, in the two normal contexts, has different meanings, presences and messages.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Similarly, the potentials are different.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For example, the second amendment of the original American Constitution says that all citizens can own and carry guns.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On the one hand, any rational person has the right to defend “himself”, especially against those who would take “his” property (such as a zealous government official).  That’s democratic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On the other hand, a zealous government official may be commissioned to protect “vulnerable persons”.  Vulnerable persons may be conditioned to fear people carrying guns.  The self-acknowledged vulnerable folk<\/em> may demand that the zealous government official<\/em> take the guns (property) away from other citizens.  That’s leviathan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Constitution rules in favor of democracy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

0013 So, how do the two nested forms relate to one another?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Enlightenment liberals know that both nested forms constitute a single, contradiction-ridden entity.  I call this actuality2′<\/sub>, “the individual”.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a>
Figure 04<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The individual2′<\/sub> is an actuality that is constituted by the intersection of two nested forms.  The intersection binds two independent actualities.  According to the masterwork, How To Define The Word “Religion”,<\/em> intersections associate to the message underlying the word<\/em>.  Intersections are mysteries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

0014 The construction may be also be portrayed in the following fashion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a>
Figure 05<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Now, that looks like an intersection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This diagram conveys the mystery underlying the liberal civic religion,<\/em> which accompanies the spread of democracy in the modern Age of Ideas.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
