Talk:Hexis

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I appreciate the "unclear" header, but for me, the article was exactly on point. Anyone who uses this article will want to know about the alternative possible translations of Hexis and the article really does a good job of that.

I've read the article 3 times, and I still don't know what Hexis means. Can you use it in a sentence? It says it means possession. So your head is a hexis because it belongs to you? Then it says disposition. So if your head were chopped off by the headman's axe, then the hexis of your head would be in a basket? Then it talks about something being a hexis if it has a stable arrangement of parts. Well a face is fairly stable, so that is another context in which a head is a hexis? What was the word usually used to describe? Okay, now I've read the article 5 times, and I still don't get it. Initially I thought the tag should be removed, because I loath tags that aren't explained, but in this case I fully empathize with whoever placed the tag, because the article is incomprehensible in its entirety, as it fails to clearly describe what a hexis is. I don't have a bloody clue. I feel like I've just played a game of 20 questions and lost!  The Transhumanist   10:11, 22 November 2006 (UTC)
