Of
Cans
and Bottles in relation to Binding and Freedom. One of
the most obvious parallels, on both phenomenal and noumenal
planes, to our hood/brolly distinction between binding and freedom,
clenched-fist and open-hand saluting, must be that between cans and
bottles,
provided we make a distinction between tall or large cans and squat or
small
cans on the one hand, and small or squat bottles and large or tall
bottles on
the other hand, as with the aforementioned distinction between low and
high
types of freedom and binding (see previous essay). Therefore
paralleling
the collapsible brolly as an exemplification of low, or somatic,
freedom at the
northwest point of the intercardinal axial
compass
will come squat or small bottles, while parallel to the collapsible
hood as an
exemplification of low, or somatic, binding at the southeast point of
the said
compass will come squat or small cans - both of which could be regarded
as
signifying an adherence to state-hegemonic/church-subordinate axial
criteria. Similarly, paralleling the non-collapsible hood as an
exemplification of high, or psychic, binding at
the
southwest point of the intercardinal axial
compass
will come tall or large cans, while parallel to the non-collapsible
brolly as
an exemplification of high, or psychic, freedom at the northeast point
of the
said compass will come tall or large bottles - both of which could be
regarded
as signifying an adherence to church-hegemonic/state-subordinate axial
criteria. In either case, the cans and bottles can be used for
alcoholic
or non-alcoholic drinks.
