Peetster, another question.
It also seems to me you are posing an a priori assumption. It can not be demonstrated or proven.
To assert that the mind can not know itself is simply stating a denial of the statement that the mind can know itself.
You'll recall I stated I'm not interested in a debate.
So, if we are simply stating assumptions, that's fine. However I'm willing to go as far as laying out a path for a potential argument without going down the path.
My statement that the mind can know itself can be supported by the myriad ways it has demonstrated self-knowledge.
You see where I'm going, even though I'm not going there.
How would you propose to demonstrate that the mind can not know itself?
P.S. The more I consider your inititial response, it seems you ignored my original intention not to engage in argumentation and in fact baited it. If this is the case, why not start a thread with the topic "The mind can not come to know itself" ? Then elaborate on the topic and elicit any sort of feedback, input, or disputation you desire. I'd be interested in reading that.
Let me know what you think.
