Rereading Cosmos. The thing “behind” the thing–what is extended and assumed. The shadow of a thing, the shadow of a shadow of a thing, the shades of warmth under the sun. But the shade is only in relation to the warmth, which is only in relation to the sun, of which the shadow is also a part… so the sun, shadow, and warmth are only parts of a greater whole, of which the sun is not the whole but only an element of synthesis.

Sartre surfaces but Witold… A thing exists because it is in relation to another thing–the other. Witold told it in an authentic way, something that permeates all of us, and so we connect and form a relation, an understanding working in unison.
