Selfing by othering into the same is a strange moment. It would be intelligible as identity (which by the numbers then proceeds into a loss of identity and into commodity). These moments come and go, and go on and on. And we ask of identity is the map the territory?
“Totality should not leave anything outside.” Don't know about should here, but regardless, Gödel's Incompleteness theorem lurks close by (The totality of everything outside totality -- might be one example).
We are a part even when we imagine everything. This is why our objective view from nowhere in imagining everything, is still only a partial success.
A guarantee for the self seems similar to the salvation of the self, if only in promise, but as I have little personal interest in soteriological avenues of worlding the self, even if my favoured religions/worldviews are Buddhism and Pyrrhonism, I would think it unwise to capitalise the self
Do you think that the disappearance of “the other” into the “same” is truly the moment of intelligibility?
“Totality should not leave anything outside.” It is for
this reason that “the transcendence of the totality thematized in truth is produced as a
division of the totality into parts” [Emmanuel Levinas," Otherwise than Being"]
For me, the other is the only conceivable guarantor of my Self.
