Seel III 160f Sublime/Representation/Lyotard: "Representation of the unrepresentable". Seel: what actually follows from it?

The logical flaw of >the "overarching general". Def Reality/Seel: the real is the "what about" (German: worüber) of accurate representations - which nevertheless often proves to be unrepresentable.
