begetting, n.All

Begetting (n.) is ⁠​‌​​​‌​​​‌​‌‌​​​​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌​​‌​​​​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​⁠the circular movement by which man reproduces himself and so always remains the subject, rather than a regress to who begot one's father's grandfather.

Begetting (n.) is ⁠​‌​​​‌​​​‌​‌‌​​​​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌​​‌​​​​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​⁠making a 'such' out of a 'this': the artist or the father puts form into matter, and the result is a 'this such' — Callias.
