"However, this" infinite "is matter."
Eric Dardel, Man and Earth (1952), p. 9
North is an abstract notion, derived from an understanding of space as extended abstract, uniform, measurable and quantifiable. The north does not mean less concrete places in their materiality, their uniqueness and their contingencies.
Every place in the world to north, then northeast across.
can say it is a place called the pole, towards which converge all journeys north facing, and if a place has a superior device in the Nordic North. This place, pole, do not take this status singularity of an irregularity that would be clean, but a quantitative understanding of space to be homogeneous.
Thus, the north has no place.
I imagine a place, region or continent bounded, which contain the north, we would call North, and North would be in nature. Qualitatively north. It would be a matter apart, place made, done and extended distance. An abstraction physically pacing.
When an abstraction thickens she finds some concreteness.
The North would be the physical presence of an abstraction, a concept, an idea - not the physical presence of their representation, allegory or metaphor. The physical presence of abstraction itself. An abstraction provided with eroticism. Excluding a country, territory, and landscape.
To define the place, Plato must confine its ontological dualism between the world of ideas and material world. In the Timaeus : "must necessarily be all that is about share in a particular place, occupies a certain place, and which is neither on earth nor anywhere in the sky is nothing. "But where, as Plato calls Khôra is a" third species, which is neither the world nor the ideas of the sensible world - not an idea, but immaterial although in constant contact with the sensible world, the Khôra is allowing elements of the sensible world to somewhere.
The North would vast landscapes are open, the North is cold, it would never end.
An infinite limited and delineated. An infinite solid, liquid and air, arranged in a shape to her own. An infinite resistance.
Among the places that place in our physical world, we look at the oceans are as Siberia and Canada to get an idea of the landscapes of North , their nudity and unlimited which commits them - where the finiteness of matter agrees to give limits to the extent, but having convinced of his abilities to the limit, having delivered a geographic shape and sensitive real endless.
The Khôra is any, is the world matrix and receptacle. Without Khôra , the world is nowhere, no. It does not happen.
The North would end without a place where we could go, which could be separated. Anywhere in North , and in any direction you'd go north. Outside North , it would be impossible to move north, even if we would approach the North .
The North is physically made up of substance-field-strength and movement while simultaneously y contains the north and tends to the north.
"The third case, that of the place, is itself perceived as a spurious reason, which is not the sensation he barely there may believe. We beholding as in a dream. Because of this dream state, we are unable to awake to all these awards. " Plato, Timaeus .
Done territory, an abstraction leaves open the clean place. So is the emotional vertigo of North .
When territories seem ignored and thought to be fully known the world over, it's as if an area already tense opened without further tearing a leaf unfolding as we smooth and had thought that it was unaware that it participated in any downturns.
Places exceed boundless space. Thus the earth is much larger than the measurable area of its sphere, and it may give place to the places North .
