Philosophy has long been concerned with being — with what is, what exists, what endures.
But thinking itself does not behave like being -- thinking has no substance or identity. It is an event. It is impermanent.
Thought moves. It advances by interruption. It returns by detour. It starts and then stops, only to restart again. It appears and then disappears, perhaps reappearing years later. A thought can also travel between thinkers. A thought can disappear in one and reappear in another. Thoughts often outlive their thinkers. Thinking has no permanence and yet it can persist over generations and over centuries.
In this sense, thinking is not a form of being.
It is a form of becoming.
This project begins from the following assumption: that thinking does not seek its own being.
It seeks becoming and form.
