Footnote to section ‘The problem of the twelve pieces’ :
p2 Simon Gros’ translation : The study developed here situates itself within the initial formal analyses of a collective logic, to which it was already referred in a text published in the previous number of the ‘Cahiers D’Art’, under the title of ‘Logical Time and the Assertion of Anticipated Certainty’. [See ** below]
The form developed here, although it compares succession, is not of the order of logical time and situates itself as being prior to it in our development. It is part of our exemplary approaches to the conception of logical forms in which the relations of the individual to the collection must be defined, before a class is constituted, that is, before the individual is specified.
This conception is developed within a logic of the subject which our other study allows us to distinctively discern, given that, at the end of the text, we have even tried to formulate the subjective syllogism through which the subject of existence assimilates himself to the essence, which is, for us, radically cultural, to which one applies the term humanity.
