This article takes its point of departure in Bracha Ettinger's discussion on the "matrixial borderspace": the structure of the experience of "the womb," both from a "mother-pole" and a "fetus-pole". Ettinger describes this borderspace as a place of differentiation-in-co-emergence, separation-in-jointness, and distance-in-proximity. The question this article poses is what kind of logic this experience is an expression of, as there seems to be a discrepancy in relation to the classical Aristotelian logic of identity. As an alternative to classical Aristotelian logic, Nicholas of Cusa's logic of the non-aliud is explored as a paradigm more in line with Ettinger's description of pregnancy specifically and more generally, to an understanding of life as a co-poietic emergence of structures of pactivity and permeability.
这篇文章以 Bracha Ettinger 对“基质边界空间”的讨论为出发点:从“母极”和“胎儿极”两个角度来描述“子宫”体验的结构。Ettinger 将这个边界空间描述为一个差异化-共同涌现、分离-联合、距离-接近的地方。本文提出的问题是,这种体验表达了什么样的逻辑,因为它似乎与经典亚里士多德的同一逻辑存在差异。作为对经典亚里士多德逻辑的替代,尼古拉斯·库萨的非他逻辑被探索为一种更符合 Ettinger 对怀孕的描述的范式,更普遍地说,是一种理解生命的范式,即作为一种共同的创造性涌现,结构的活动性和渗透性。
