Man and Sin by Piet Schoonenberg (1964) 2.3 HG

[In the original interscope, a content-level ‘something2a emerges from and situates the potentials inherent in me1a. Then, a situation-level my choice2b emerges from and situates the potentials inherent in ‘something2a1b.

What happens when there are no disconnects?

Then, ‘something’ underlying my choice1b virtually emerges from and situates the potentials inherent in me1a.

It does so by identifying the something underlying my choice1b as the something that emerges from and situates the potentials inherent in me2a.

In short, when there is no disconnect, values1b virtually emerge from and situate desires1a.]

[What I see2 depends on the item specular scattering light1V plus my own interests (what I want to look at)1H.

By “depends”, I do not mean “cause and effect”, I mean “emerges from and situates”.

As you have already seen, I substitute the term the mirror of the world3H for the term the thought experiment3H.]

Summary of text [comment] page 83

[Here, the potential of the source of the specular scattering1V is has little to do with the potentials inherent in me1H, except to say that the thing may attract my eye2.

Also, the thought experiment3H may easily be replaced with the term “nature and source of illumination3H” or (more evocatively) “mirror of the world3H”.]
