 Speculative category

What fuck is the speculative category? “This is the problem”, some years ago these were the words that in Denmark were recurrent; the speculative category in the first place isn’t other form of declaration of war, but alone a inquiry about the object that we study; it is alone the object that we consider for our inquiry, and hence we pick our method that is always equal, this the observation, but the change is in object; in philosophical words: we follow Aristotle for the speculative method, but as same Aristotle we change object, therefore that we see for the humankind we don’t see for a book, that although it is written from a human we read indirectly the author and not certainly the man, that there isn’t. The category is change; from the human to a book, inasmuch other category and other method, because with the category must change also the method, a book we can alone read, whereby the speculation is same, as I have said above, Aristotle “docet”, this is Aristotle teaches, but the object is different, thereupon the method must change, an example: we can gaze a painting, a sculpture, a tragedy or comedy in theatre, but the object is different, hence that before was the principal object, the book, during afternoon, in night it isn’t therefore the method is changed. Every object is a category, a scientist man inquiries something that can be anomalous or unknown, but the inquiry is always through same method, this is the speculation, but he study something that is very different from a book, that is in the same method seen but for other motive and for other material, but the motive is the major distinction, because also the scientist man read or has read, but for causes that are different from the literature man, hence the category of interest and the sakes are different, hence also the categories are different, what is valid for the painting, when the painter as Rembrandt(1606-1669) has painted the lesson of anatomy of doctor Nicolaes Tulp, an art history man can study this painting for the style, the reality, the growth of painter, but the surgery sees it for the correctness of anatomy, for the correctness of muscles and other, hence the category and the object are different but the method, this the speculative, is same. And two persons a surgery and art historic man see two different categories, but, repeat, the object is same, the painting of Rembrandt; why this change? Because, in the first place the obviousness, the interest is different and in the second place because the categories are different, the painting is always loved both it is seen from a surgery or art historic man, and Rembrandt would see twice for a portrait, if somebody pays him; and the portrait is opportune reference for this think, why? Simple because a painter portrait a model, and he must draw the anatomy, but his interest is limited to the face and body and neither other, but the object is same of surgery, that gazed the symptom of some ill, but the face is same, but the category is changed, the difference is in speculative category.
