Touching. Not-touching. Sensing.

Through the crafty use of magnetic fields, scientists have developed the first electronic sensor that can simultaneously process both touchless and tactile stimuli. Prior attempts have so far failed to combine these functions on a single device due to overlapping signals of the various stimuli. As the sensor is readily applied to the human skin, it could provide a seamless interactive platform for virtual and augmented reality scenarios. (1)

Touching.

Not touching.

Seeing.

Not seeing.

We need both.

We do both.

At the end, we compose everything to get the complete image. Shadows and light. Touch and lack of touch. Color on a void picture. Full with everything. Sound upon the deafening silence. Arousing feelings which lurked in the dark. Seeing and perceiving what is not seen. Listening and hearing nothing. Listening to no one and yet hearing the sound of the cosmos.

Being and Not-being.

Existing and never-have-been.

At the end, these matter not.

Except one thing.

You.

Touching.

Not touching.

Being…

Everything is around you.

Learn thyself and you will sense the deepest secrets of the universe.

Without ever touching anything…

Spiros Kakos is a thinker located in Greece. He has been Chief Editor of Harmonia Philosophica since its inception. In the past he has worked as a senior technical advisor for many years. In his free time he develops software solutions and contributes to the open source community. He has also worked as a phD researcher in the Advanced Materials sector related to the PCB industry. He likes reading and writting, not only philosophy but also in general. He believes that science and religion are two sides of the same coin and is profoundly interested in Religion and Science philosophy. His philosophical work is mainly concentrated on an effort to free thinking of "logic" and reconcile all philosophical opinions under the umbrella of the "One" that Parmenides - one of the first thinkers - visualized. The "Harmonia Philosophica" articles program is the tool that will accomplish that. Life's purpose is to be defeated by greater things. And the most important things in life are illogical. We must fight the dogmatic belief in "logic" if we are to stay humans... Credo quia absurdum!
