Reconstructing Self

The self, upon having gone through the depths of radical idealism, must reconstruct a image of the world and of the self in new "logical" ways. In the process of coming to reconstruct a new realism, the self must turn to philosophical monologues in hopes of a dialogue on the nature of the mind and the subjectivity of perception. How can anyone understand the self, and the world from any objectivity platform? Are we not just individually conscious of our own world-life-view, that only glimpses of intersubjectivity of perception? Is there not a sliding spectrum of truth to belief?


When a society loses grasp of the "truth" of the narrative being told, the inter subjectivity is lost, moving the particular individuals in directions of autonomous belief. The radical divisions of  world-life-views on society are going to become exponentially acute if the social chaos is not maintained in the future. New methods on constructing the self into a new mold of pure philosophical expression, to avoid the chaos of the mind. How one goes about living a life of just philosophy is uncharted territory... but in these times of unrest as I transition towards a new realism, I must depend on the philosophy to keep my love alive.


Objective reality in the physical world can only be applied to the non animate world. In the world of "life", there is no objective standard. In the subjectivity of human consciousness, there must be creative ways to construct more vibrant inter subjective communities in linguistic expression. There are multiple worlds that exists, and the self can transition between the phenomenal world and the world of the mind. It is in the isolation of the mind that reaches out to those who can see the beauty of the world of linguistic reality. I see a transcendent being somewhere off in the distant. The question remains how radical is such a view for the self?
