Topological Ontology and Logic of Qualitative quantity

inspected ``from the outside'', only for it to creep in from the back in the very act of
investigation.”
The topological notion of Hegel’s logic contains the seed of topological hermeneutics with
“genuine infinite, a circle closed on itself”
…The infinite that wants to be unlimited, because as Hegel points out – “there are two
worlds, one infinite and one finite, and in their relationship the infinite is only the limit of
the finite and is thus only a determinate infinite, an infinite which is itself finite." 117
What the understanding should not forget is that these alternating determinations of the
finite and the infinite are ultimately determinations of one unified something.
Topological cobordis is just another dialectical and hermeneutical view on the betweennes
of these two somethings – the finite and the infinite.
9. Toward phenomenology of social topology through qualitative quantity: Topological
Ontology and … Social Topology of Pierre Bourdieu, the four divisions of the lifeworld or
“the crux of Schütz” as topological structure of the Lifeworld, sociological hermeneutics of
Zygmunt Bauman, and A Levinasian Topology in Levinas’s 'Aborder Autrui’ (Topological
Trace in Levinas Trace …)
In progress….!
Abstract:
This chapter will focus on sociology defined as “social topology” by Pierre Bourdieu, on the
topological notion of sociological hermeneutics of Zygmunt Bauman, and in return back to
the beginning of this paper and the term “topological ontology” will approach the domain
of Huserls’s phenomenology and ontology trough the philosophy of Alfred Schutz who more
than any other phenomenologist, attempted to relate the thought of Edmund Husserl to the
social world and the social sciences. In this chapter the topological moments in Schutz’s
Phenomenology of the Social World will be discussed as well as the possible topological
approach to the phenomenology of the social world and ontological construction of
lifeworld. In Schutz’s “Phenomenology of the Social World”, we may find “Part 7.4 World
Within My Reach and Topological Organization” [195(2)]. According to Schutz, there are
four divisions of the lifeworld, that has been called 'the crux of Schütz's theoretical
contribution. Can we use topology (topological philosophy or philosophical topology) to
understand Schutz’s idea of sharing “with me a community of space and a community of
time” Could we see the structure of the Lifeworld as topological structure and Schutz’s
theory of relevance as topological homology
The core atterntion in this chapter will be paid to Topological Trace in Levinas Trace,
exploring the two main topological moments in phenomenology of Emanuel Levinas – the
first s embedded in the idea of infinity and the second is encrypted in Levinas’s concept of
'Aborder Autrui’ – “To meet the Other is to have the idea of Infinity”. The metaphor of
topological cobordism will be used to co-bord the Levinas’ 'Aborder Autrui’,
