Know Thyself – 2: The Fragmented Self: Psychology, Power, and the Loss of Presence
“I used to think I was one person. Now I’m not so sure.” The modern self is not only in crisis; it is shattered. Fragmented across roles, performances, diagnoses, and projections, the self has become a mosaic of shifting parts. Where once we spoke of character or soul, we now speak of personality types, trauma…

The Unfolding of Truth – 8: Modernity – From Substance to Subject and the Collapse of Metaphysics
The Turning Point: From the World to the Self With the collapse of the medieval synthesis, the philosophical gaze shifted dramatically.

The Structure of Madness
Madness is the belief in what is not. The common image of the madman who is Napoleon is crude, but correct: he affirms nothingness. Pursue this logic, and all are mad. We are mad in our faith that will originates action, that “if” governs “then.” This is humanity’s primordial error. The Faith in Contingency This…

I Am – 2: The Divided Mind – Thought, Perception, and the Illusion of Fragmentation

Mind & Heart – 9: Thought and Feeling in the Paradigm of Becoming
The Modern Fragmentation of Mind and Heart In contemporary discourse, reason and emotion are often seen as opposing forces—one cold and calculating, the other passionate and irrational.

The Unfolding of Identity – Article 2: The Principle of Identity and the Necessity of Being
The fragmentation of identity, examined in the first article, is not an arbitrary historical accident but the necessary unfolding of contradictions inherent in partial perspectives. If identity, in its true form, is not something contingent and constructed but eternal and indestructible, then the contradictions of relativism and self-creation must ultimately give way to the recognition…

The Unfolding of Identity – Article 1: The Fragmentation of Identity and the Necessity of Contradiction
The modern world has seen an increasing crisis of identity. From the dissolution of traditional roles to the proliferation of self-definitions, identity has become a battleground of fluidity, self-construction, and deconstruction. Postmodernism, with its deep skepticism of fixed categories, has only accelerated this dissolution. Yet, rather than viewing this as a mere loss or an…

Post 50 – The Oneness of Being: Unity in Multiplicity
The One and the Many At the core of reality lies a fundamental truth: Being is one and undivided, yet it consists of an infinite plurality of distinct entities. Each being is itself, maintaining its unique identity, and yet it is seamlessly one with all others. This paradox—that everything is irreducibly itself while being inseparably…
