Philosophy - June 2007

I mean really, everything in the universe seems to recycle, why would we be any different? Maybe when we die, we spread out, perhaps we are all made up of bits of people from before us? We are made up of just cells afterall...

One, is the person you see yourself as...
The other, is the way "others" see you...
...Then there is our true selves....

A mundane life.

Freud claims the Superego acts as a policeman between the Id and the Ego. Sartre explained that the Superego would have to have knowledge and be self-aware to do its duty. Despite this criticism, can the idea of a Superego still be seen to apply to human nature?

I know greed gets in the way and prevents a Utopia from functioning but suppose they voted the greedy people out at the first hint of jealousy or greed of any kind. Then would a Utopia be possible in theory? Hmmm...

Where did postmodernism come from? Well, it comes from idealism, German Idealism in particular; which started with Immanuel Kant's criticism of (mainly) Aristotelian thought. German Idealism transformed the medieval proofs for the existence of God (in particular, the Ontological, the Cosmological and the Teleological proofs) into the modern proofs for the existence of the self. In the older form of Plato's idealism, it had been assumed that we could only discover, not create knowledge (in his timeless world of Forms, or ideas). This is closely related to the modern illusion of the spontaneity of the imagination. In fact, the mental (or, in general, ideal) world has rules of development that are analogous (neither timeless, nor spontaneous) to those that exist in the material world of things; but, the point is that none of these can be final or self-contained; we do really know, but only in part; only partial knowledge is possible.
Does postmodernism give us any kind of real knowledge?
