__**Epistemic Objects**__

"Objects of knowledge are characteristically open, question-generating and complex. They are processes and projections rather than definitive things." KKC, 190


 * ideology** (re: Limited Inc. p. 6)

From the OED: [|(Show Less)] **1.** **a.** //(a)// The study of ideas; that branch of philosophy or psychology which deals with the origin and nature of ideas. //(b)// //spec.// The system introduced by the French philosopher Étienne Condillac (1715–80), according to which all ideas are derived from sensations.
 * IDEOLOGY**
 * Etymology:** < [|ideo- comb. form] + [|-logy comb. form], largely after French //idéologie// (1796 in sense [|1a(a)] , //c//1800 in sense [|2] (apparently first used in this sense by Napoleon), 1842 in sense [|4] ; sense [|1b] appears to be unparalleled in French; sense [|3] is not recorded in dictionaries of the language, and the French original of quot. [|1835] at this sense has not been traced). Compare Spanish //ideología// (//a//1808), Italian //ideologia// (1804), German //Ideologie// (//c//1800), all earliest in sense [|1a(a)] , all < French.On the variation in form see note at [|ideo- comb. form].


 * remainder [//restance//]**

"...the 'concept' of the remainder is not, I confess, a sure thing [//de tout repos//]. I put 'concept' between quotation marks because if the concept of 'concept' depends upon the logic deconstructed by the graphics of remainder, the remainder is not a concept in the strict sense." //Limited Inc//, p. 53

"...the structure of the remainder, implying alteration, renders all absolute permanence impossible." //Limited Inc//, p. 54

"...the blinking quasi-concept of 'remainder'...is the effect not of a conceptual deficiency or theoretical laxity on the part of a particular philosophical discourse, but rather of the iterability to which it is bound and which, it should be realized, allows for no other kind of 'concept' (identity '//and//' difference, iteration-alteration, repitition 'as' //differance,// etc.)." //Limited Inc//, p. 54

cf. //[|Aufheben]// or //[|Aufhebung]//, //[|Unheimlichkeit]//, [|concept(metaphor) i.e. white mythology] --

//W h a t is white mythology? I t is metaphysics which has effaced in//

//itself t h a t fabulous scene which brought it into being, and which yet//

//remains, active and stirring, inscribed in white ink, a n invisible dr aw-//

//ing covered over in the palimpsest// --
