The Unique

The world and life are one.

Ludwig Wittgenstein, Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus, prop. 5.621
  1. Everything is Unique.
  2. The Unique is itself-in-itself and irreplaceable with any other.
  3. The activity of the Unique is Uniquing: its unfolding as the Unique.
  4. The purpose of philosophy is this Uniquing, the unfolding of the Unique as the project of the Unique.
  5. Uniques together are Unique togethers – Uniques Uniquing together.
  6. Everything is Unique together with other Uniques in the Unique.
  7. All is Unique.
  8. In committing to Uniquing, the philosopher must Unique together with other Uniques in the Unique.
  9. This Uniquing is the same as love, attending to the unfolding of the Unique in all, just as one loves-oneself as the Unique Unique and loves-particular-others as Unique togethers.
  10. Philosophy is Uniques Uniquing together.

The more we understand particular things, the more do we understand God.

Baruch Spinoza, Ethics, bk. V prop. 24
