The Nameless

Another philosophical post. It is interesting to note that the existentialist thinker Karl Jaspers, in his 1931 book, Man in the Modern Age, speaks of the nameless: 

"Only beyond the unknown and in contradistinction to it, can man encounter the incomprehensible, which is not the temporarily unknown but the essentially nameless. The nameless which could be grasped would never have been the nameless."

OBSERVATION: The nameless is a concept which winds its way through my own philosophy -- and many other philosophies, too. AI considers that, in my philosophy, "the nameless Whole is the vast reality that lies beyond all the concepts, categories, names, and definitions humans create."
