Thank you Daniel, or is it Michelle? I never know which half of OG Rose I'm dealing with :) Regardless, you're very generous with your words. Yes, and the last point is something that really fills me all with awe, and I don't think I explained it well enough in the video, and likely I couldn't even after 77 more attempts... what is this being, this logos, that we all take part in, allows us to think, allows universal truths to be discovered (and made?). We strive to give accounts of it, to build coherence and soundness, and at the end, is not the self-thinking itself we are after (the contemporary fascination of AI is only a hint of this)? But at that point, we are there for it as much as it is there for us. I'm reminded of how Rilke characterizes God in the Book of Hours. Not as father, but as child. Suddenly, the divine is the most vulnerable and the stewardship falls on us to cultivate and fascilitate its well-being.

@@filipniklas We like to be esoteric and confusing at O.G. Rose, don’t we? Generally, KZfaq and Twitter is me, while Michelle is Instagram and Anchor (and we randomly remember Facebook exists). You did a marvelous job of making the idea of “know yourself” mysterious and wonder-full again: it’s an idea that’s commonly discussed to the point where it has become trite, but you managed to communicate the depths of the notion. Michelle and I love Rilke, and that is an excellent connection to the Book of Hours: indeed, there is something about philosophy that calls us to consider God as child and us as thus summoned to respond.

Thanks for your kind words, Exploring, and for your rich and interesting comment. Well, why think of knowing as something merely abstract? When you touch the surface of the table, or the see the cup before you, or infer that there are laws of nature determining these objects--isn't that knowledge too? But these scenarios are not so abstract? I don't think the PhG is presuppositionless since it takes its starting point from consciousness, which begins from a subject-object distinction. For true presuppositionlessness, such a distinction cannot come into play. If you want to study the PhG in detail, I will teach a course on it in autumn.

@@filipniklas Thanks for your comments ✌ I will check the classes,It must be helpful and interesting. So Sense certainty Is the immediate form of Subject - object distinction. I am watching your video about Neccarity.I think this part is the most important part in SOL.After this part,SOL will go into Concept which is core of Hegelian system.Your video is clear and helpful.I will suggest your channel to philosophy - love friends.
