The Practice of General Self-Knowledge (of the Soul)
What remains of the “I” when the not-self is stripped away? This episode explores practical paths to self-knowledge — from ascetic exercises, emotional control, and observation of thought to Neoplatonic and Gnostic methods aimed at uncovering the “pure spirit.” At the same time, it addresses the radical critique of Max Stirner, who sees in all these ideals merely new forms of subjugation.
