The Notebooks of Schubert Ogden

PDF Version of this Document

Just as the metaphysical is not something alongside the physical, but rather something contained within the physical as its least common denominator, so self-understanding is not something alongside life-praxis, but rather something contained within life-praxis as its least common denominator.

Thus, no matter what I believe and do, I always (somehow) understand myself, thereby or therein also believing and doing something distinct from, but not alongside, whatever I believe and do.

What is alongside the beliefs and actions otherwise comprising my life-praxis are the explications of my self-understanding.
