Today's societies
are either a byproduct of, or are aspiring towards modern theory and methodology.
The societies who are a byproduct of modernism have exhausted their intellectual
resources; they face the postmodern dilemma of having manipulated every
last aspect of life. There are fewer myths from which to draw--fewer truths
to conjure. The postmodernist society lives in a continuous series of
developed revelations. They have hit a glass ceiling, the present, and
are trying to get themselves back to the floor: to the past, or beyond
the present.
Those societies
who aspire towards modernity desire to eschew this postmodern dilemma:
the traits which have stripped their present person-hood and fastened
their multifaceted intellect to a singular present. However, for these
societies, their modern future is dependent upon pomo-surrogacy and support.
Today, both kinds of societies wonder what can be done with modern truth
and postmodern revelation. What method of thought may or can be utilized
to create a paradigm which links the past with the present with the future?
The answer lives not in technology; the answer rests in logisms.
A logism
is a comparative theory, a paradigm which is used to assess society as
well as the communities that are a composite thereof. By manipulating
the logism, a truth is formulated about a previous theory be the theory
traditional, philosophical, democratic, or psychological in nature. Being
that every individual in a community is taught a logism, it would follow
that in teaching a logism, another must be replaced or manipulated away
so to incorporate, develop an accepted "truth."
As mentioned
above, intellectual resources have become more scare, have become a commodity,
so what exists? What exists are evolved logisms that are transformed.
These transformed logisms, translogisms, include the initial logism, but
through necessity have adopted another logism, in some cases several.
Evolving translogisms allows the individual to trek objectively from the
past to present to the future. The truth will no longer need to be developed,
nor its ramifications revealed because the truth is "upgraded," not hegemonically,
but hermeneutically: individually, not collectively.
This essay
introduces the translogism persona art: the traditional, philosophical,
democratic psychology; i.e. the making and maintaining of perception through
impressionism and expressionism via mnemonics and intent. The logism as
process and practice, will also be discussed. This essay will map the
process and practice indigenous to every individual, and will do so by
evolving the protagonist/antagonist construct. The focus of this essay,
living within multimanifestations, is to show how oxymoronic paradoxes
are inherent in individuals, communities and societies, and how these
composites are derived from similar differences.
