self-identification Explanation: "One's self-concept (also called self-construction, * self-identity*, self-perspective or self-structure) is a collection of beliefs about oneself that includes elements such as academic performance,gender roles, sexuality, and racial identity. Generally, self-concept embodies the answer to "Who am I?"." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Self-concept |

looking for self-knowledge Explanation: γνῶθι σεαυτόν 'Nosce te ipsum' Non è un 'accettare l'identità', bensì un 'riconoscere quel che si è' This ancient Greek phrase, “know yourself” is the simplest invitation to reflect on oneself Hegel:"self-consciousness is the fount of truth". Fichte: "Look at yourself, shift your gaze from everything around you and direct it to your interior. This is the first request that philosophy makes to his apprentice. You are not going to talk about anything outside of you, but only of yourself ". Cassirer: "the autognosis is the supreme purpose of philosophical inquiry". Montaigne: "every man contains within himself the entire form of the human condition". -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 2 days23 hrs (2017-01-02 12:52:49 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- http://en.antiquitatem.com/know-thyself-socrates-plato-philo... -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 2 days23 hrs (2017-01-02 12:57:03 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- ..as an integral part of a composition (countermelody) -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 4 days (2017-01-03 14:42:54 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- My suggestion: "This is a more problematic and critic view of thought which revises / reinterprets the Delfic oracle/motto “know yourself/thyself” in the light of a new relationship with an external center that is not accidental to the 'autognosis' (self-knowledge), rather an integral part of it." |
