LA CONSCIENCE DE SOI ENTRE LE RÉEL ET L’IDÉAL. DE L’IMMÉDIAT AU MÉDIAT
THE SELF-CONSCIOUSNESS BETWEEN THE REAL AND IDEAL

Summary/Abstract: The Self-Consciousness between the Real and Ideal. The self-consciousness is the „topos” where identity and difference coincide. A concept about this coincidence would tell us that there must be a perfect identity in order to have its coincidence with its opposite. But pure identity has no relation, not even to itself. A ≡ A is, thus, inapplicable where this pure identity appears. Pure identity is merely absolute immediate, no difference may present itself within its „premises”. This is what the concept of Real would contain. However, speculative logic gives us the path towards a different result in what concerns the pure immediate. Thus, through its own lack of difference, difference is constituted. But that brings us within mediation and this is the sign of the instituted identity where the consciousness lies – the Ideal.
