Linguistic study of information compactibility and notion of Confucianism
Interpretation of hermetical package of meanings enclosed by mere abstraction of word: composed of graphical symbols and subjected to phonetic reading. They can form whole sentences build by deep artifacts with twisted connections of meaning - that is timber of art.1
Data loss, product of conversion, deletion of unecessary arguments of function defining philosophical current (the subject of this short case study) happens. The noise of omnipotent information in our times, the disconnection from objective reality, short-breathness of intertwined ideas that creates vague image from fragments of context is creating landscape of “today”.
When we want to talk about Confucianism, we can bring out its characteristics like approach to the absolute and concept of Tiān2, respect to the ancestors and learning a lesson from them, we can talk about rituals, definition and way to obtain virtue or even about political system. When we consider one, the rest may fade. Notion of Confucianism is transfomed and its meaning is transposed.
