Summary/Abstract: We present the translation of the Russian manuscript of Vosylius Sezeman, kept in the Manuscripts Department of the Vilnius University Library. It is written on a small notepad, which was made in 1954 in the third quarter of Krasnokamsk. Thus, it can be assumed that the manuscript was written in 1955, before returning from the camp in Taishet to Lithuania. Written in ink and somewhere in pencil. The text analyzes consciousness, self-awareness, and the subconscious. The embodiment of consciousness, the emotionality of consciousness, empathy, and the intentional relationship with the world around us and other living beings are discussed. Sezeman notes that the main feature of consciousness is openness and the ability to practically form an understanding relationship with oneself, the environment and others. In square brackets, the names of the sections are inserted by the translator for the convenience of the readers. Translated from: Manuscript F122-102 “Самопознание, самосознание и объективация” kept in the Vosylius Sezeman Foundation, Manuscript Department of the VU Library.
