Realization

May 9, 2007

The treatment of the Frankfurtian agent in terms of the Zhuangzhi in Velleman's "The Way of the Wanton" is susceptible to Hegelian analogy: the agent has an aus dem Geist geborene und wiedergeborene wantonness.  (This is also similar to the passage that Danto got from D. T. Suzuki and put in The Transfiguration of the Commonplace about mountains and waters, which figures; he likes Hegel too.)
