Excerpt from Know ThyselfOonsequently, the subject of which we speak is pheno menal, although it cannot certainly be resolved into any of the phenomena, of which it is the unity the subject is phenomenal in so far as it is the form of phenomena. Obviously, in the phenomenal subject cognition coincides with reality, that is to say the subject knows itself. It does not however follow from this that reality and cognition coincide absolutely. That cognition which the subject has of itself at a given moment, is a reality coinciding with this cognition. But an actual cognition always implies some other. So it is possible that a subject should recognise as implied by its actual cognition a preceding reality, which, as preceding, is not the actual reality, although it exists in the actual cognition, and although in its preceding reality it did not coincide with a preceding cognition. For instance, I know that last night I slept without knowing that I was sleeping. this knowledge of mine is not the same thing as my sleeping or my having slept.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
