having become Explanation: I'm thinking along with Richard that this is about "reality", and I think it helps to remember that devenir conjugates with etre, so "being-become" is really (sort of) "having become". "... which is to say, framed by an interest in understanding this reality from which we form an order, to understand the reason for its having become how it is rather than otherwise" (or "what it is rather than something else") I understand the meaning as about understanding how things are in terms of the lines of evolution that led to this state - it's becoming - how it became the way it is - this is pretty much Matthew's understanding as well, just applied to "reality". |
