Talk:Hypomnemata

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

One of the key points a reader should undestand about the hypomnemata is its connection to developing a personal identity based on conscious "note taking". Not only did this revelation occur to the philosophers of yesteryear, but also to the vast range of common persons, including poets and financial accountants. It is a certain consciousness of the self which greek society cultivated in the practice of writing personal accounts, which could be as mundane as a shopping list or as profound as a scholarly bibliography. In pre-christian society, this manner of logos creation is tantamount to building a spiritual identity which does not require belief in a divine being. In this way of directly scripting one's logos, the hypomnemata can be viewed as both a highly spiritual practice (as in theological studies) and also as a technological trend which manipulates social paradigms (as in the current blog explosion). The relationship between hypomnemata and the philosophical concept of logos is a very important link to maintain, without it the concept of logos looses much of its dimensionality, namely its less glamourous secular relevance.
