Enigma

Enigma This “enigma” is the question about a problem, that is, of an obstacle placed by the god of Delphi on our journey. How to overcome the obstacle? He tried one way, comparing opinions. And the comparison is done with the ways of rational dialectics, where the statement of the first who speaks is contradicted by another. Contradicting means that the exchange of opinions is presented as the origin “antifatic”. Or is it true the first opinion is true or the second. But because from debate it comes early in “antifatic” way? The absolute choice between one or the other horn of the dilemma, reveals the true nature of the reasoning, that is, is based on the principle of contradiction and on principle of the third excluded, which is a consequence of the first. But here it is not a choice, rational discourse may not have a different nature, it can only reveal its intimate nature, namely that of a system of logical rules. The comparison does not end with these first statements, but unfolds in unpredictable ways and often very intricate, a genuine network, “griphos” for the Greeks, one of the synonyms of the enigma. And in that network you can be harnessed and no more out. The reason, in short, is born of the riddle and enigma can also be captured and destroyed. It 's very frail.
