Our everyday experience of the self corresponds to that which Ludwig Wittgenstein associated with the perspective of solipsism, where the self experiences itself as a center opposite to the world. The article aims at showing a possibility of questioning this experience of self. Basing on Novalis' philosophy, and connecting it with Plato’s agathological perspective, it intends the self as an eminently relational center of intelligible (spiritual) light, which immediately transcends the opposition of center vs. circle, interiority vs. exteriority, self vs. world, thus negating any dichotomy between knowledge and ethics.

Abstract

Our everyday experience of the self corresponds to that which Ludwig Wittgenstein associated with the perspective of solipsism, where the self experiences itself as a center opposite to the world. The article aims at showing a possibility of questioning this experience of self. Basing on Novalis' philosophy, and connecting it with Plato’s agathological perspective, it intends the self as an eminently relational center of intelligible (spiritual) light, which immediately transcends the opposition of center vs. circle, interiority vs. exteriority, self vs. world, thus negating any dichotomy between knowledge and ethics.
