157 | Solidifying Abstractions | X | Distortions | Describe a distortion "Solidifying abstractions" Our mind deals in abstractions (symbols). A rainbow is a bunch of refractions, a forest is a bunch of trees, truth, beauty, love etc. are also abstractions. The difficulty comes in because: 1) the abstraction is never precise (your rainbow looks different than mine) and 2) they are emergent phenomenon rather than concrete phenomenon. (I believe this is the Buddhist concept of "empty"). None the less we hotly defend the truth of our abstractions. I think the word "Reification" describes this and may be a better name for the distortion. "Materializing an abstraction" is an alternative name. They are immune from falsification. "Yes, but is it art?" requires reification to answer, and is inherently unanswerable. |
