Cartesian Black Box

Level 4 – Charter Web

Not Strictly Identical With The Cogito, It Refers More To The Otherness Inherent To The Proposition “I Think, Therefore I Am”. That Is, Kant Discovered What Is Even More Fundamental Than The Thinking Substance This Supposedly Proves Is The Very Time It Elapses In: Subjectivity Is Time. The Cartesian Black Box Refers To The Fact That As An “I” You Can Only Know Yourself As Transpiring Through Time, But As Time You Are Forever Estranged From Your Own “I”, Always Chasing Your Own Tail, Unable To Step Behind Your Own Back, The Divided Self Has As Many Fathers As There Are Hours In A Day, It Does Not Possess Itself, It Becomes The Passenger Of His Own Temporality
