The Notebooks of Schubert Ogden
I fear I have misled as well as been misled insofar as I have represented belief and action simply and exclusively as matters of life-praxis.
Self-understanding is also action -- specifically, transcendental action; and it necessarily implies belief -- specifically, existential- and empirical-historical as well as existential-and therefore ethical-and metaphysical-transcendental belief.
What certainly are matters of life-praxis, however, are the explication-formulation of such belief, practical as well as theoretical, and the categorial action implied by the transcendental action of self-understanding. The second, of course, also involves the belief and action necessary to the further specification of categorial action.
