When did I start Using the Word "Being"?

Thought can never achieve full identity with its object. For instance, no matter how hard we try political philosophy only creates a simulation of how our judgment says the world ought to work. This is why some people say we should ignore the philosophy behind politics and focus on "the reality of the situation".

What they fail to realise is that when they "get back to the reality of the situation" they are already making theoretical judgements about what evidence is politically relavent, how it should be interpreted, how to interpret news to remove the ideological bias, etc.

The difference then between a theorist and a realist is that a true realist is one who is totally unaware of the theories they bring into play when they view reality. Therefore, their view is likely to be the most distorted of all.

A while ago, in a chat with a group of people we were discussing whether we see ourselves as primarilly Human, European, British, English or from our particular region. We asked an older fellow, and his response was "You're English." I found this funny. To him, he was expressing The Real Fact that we were all overcomplicating. Of course we were all English. Butthe definition of Englishness includes being British, European, etc. By presenting Englishness as the Real Fact, to the exclusion of all else, this gentleman wasn't just ignoring other possibilities, he had also failed to properly grasp his own fact.

The problem I have is this: theory abstracts from the world-in-itself. It is therefore necessary that the world-in-itself is part of the nature of our theories. As theories are an abstraction from the world they necessarilly attempt to approach being-in-itself. But the one thing that is both the absolute goal and absolute impossibility of theory is to reach the thing-in-itself.

If I'm not getting all muddled up this means that the imperative that arises naturally from the nature of thought itself is the impossible dream of being where we always already are to start off with.
