2.15.15 A New Beginning

When I woke up this morning I felt the need to keep the 2.0 project alive and going.  And here is where I'll continue it, for now, in this make-shift post-2.0 blog.   I want to work through the 367 experiment I just completed, but in a much more modest way than Being and Learning 2.0.  And by that I mean I want to keep working away at the work that was revealed in 2.0, specifically, understanding the emphasis on philosophy of education as the  form of the Sentences and Fragments. 

It will be first and foremost, fragmentary writing....and then, if it happens, the writing of Sentence. I made that distinction in

OPM 354(364), February 11^th (2015) Meditation, which is here:

the summary of the Sentence/Fragment distinction made on 2/11/15 is:

[the fragment that is not yet a Sentence, nor Thesis, does not have a numerical citation, and must be ended with Ellipsis*: …]

*Ellipsis (plural ellipses; from the Ancient Greek: ἔλλειψις, élleipsis, "omission" or "falling short")

And then there are citations!!  

So here is a citation I want to document, which, I think, captures one of the important take-aways from Being and Learning 2.0:  process thinking, philosophy as thinking through process writing:

The main line from the above is the following:

"James McCrimmon, for instance, understood this distinction as the difference between writing as a way of knowing (process) and writing as a way of telling (product)."

So the fragment for today that I am pulling from the citation is:

Writing as a way of knowing (process)...

As for the Sentence, it would have to be the first sounds I heard when we walked in a bit late to this morning's service.  As is the first Sunday, indeed, the first day after 2.0, after 367 consecutive days of (re)turning to the original meditations, it had to be:

In the beginning was the Word.

This beginning of John 1:1 happens to be one of the first two meaningful sentences I learned to read in Attic Greek, although it was written in Koine Greek:

ἐν ἀρχῇ ἦν ὁ λόγος
