“If you went in search of it, you would not find the boundaries of the soul, though you traveled every road—so deep is its logos.
—Heraclitus“Thoughts are an independent power, continuing to act on their own, growing in such a way that they restrain their own mother (the soul).”
—Schelling“The account of the sixth day should be written, He gave them speech, and they became souls.”
—Whitehead

There are a lot of presuppositions, a lot of a priori and a lot of. I would not say. innuendos but partialities. We need to go beyond the Platonic footnote of Whitehead and establish that neuro-cognitive aesthetic is not the same as epistemology, ontology, metaphysics, and what you have in philosophy. We have overrun philosophy with sophophilia, like paedophilia and haemophilia and other philias; Let us move beyond.
