Advaita Vedanta, the Shaking-spear: Taijasa (Syllogistic)

Major: “Alas, poor Formalism! I knew her, Intuitionist: a maiden of infinite jest, of most excellent fancy: she hath borne me on her back infinite times; and now, how prajna in my imagination it is! my gorge rims at  it.” 

Minor: One is the constraint of being in time.

“The nondualism of Advaita Vedānta is often regarded as an idealist monism. According to King, Advaita Vedānta developed "to its ultimate extreme" the monistic ideas already present in the Upanishads. In contrast, states Milne, it is misleading to call Advaita Vedānta "monistic," since this confuses the "negation of difference"(Formalism) with "conflation into one"(Intuitionism). Advaita is a negative term (a-dvaita), states Milne, which denotes the "negation of a difference," between subject and object, or between perceiver and perceived.”

Wikipedia. I used to be concerned about Wiki, and still am, however it is a facilitating tool sometimes. I added the notes on Formalism and Intuitionism to bring it into a western paradigm. Ironically, this also suggests why Hegelian philosophy will never get there. I would choose the "conflation into one," and rework the system: abduction.

William James 

“Our only intelligible notion of an object in itself is that it should be an object for itself, and this lands us in panpsychism and a belief that our physical perceptions are effects on us of 'psychical' realities.” Wiki
