Do you think the doctor ceases to be 'objective' if s(he)'s plan of action is undertaking, since like a narrator s(he) now becomes part of the story?

I don't quite understand why you said "Freud approached this issue but encountered a problem in respect of suicidal or self destructive drives." He se...

Drives are inherent in us, they are part of the Id, headless as such. They are different than desire, but become mixed up with desire typically reinfo...

So everything is explainable but then I wonder why this is so. Does that mean the Being must be explainable. Why something rather than nothing. Or per...

Yes my explanation was not the best. Here is an explanation

Something that exist independently of men like a mountain or something for which no other explanation is possible or necessary.

Yes, I think it is a normative construction, a way of talking which assumes that the words we use are what are expected of us as members of the same g...

I don't think that 'racism' is natural, I don't even believe it is correct terminology since there is only one human race which is comprised of separa...

Not sure I understand what you are stating....are you an idealist taking the position that the real structure of the world is in some sense identical ...

I am using the "I" to refer to the self conscious self, the self that recognizes itself as such in a mirror, which I maintain is not possible without ...

Others are always there, that's an empirical fact, not some sort of logical regress argument. It is only by means of interactions with those closest t...

An infant is like a sponge it soaks up everything it experiences, it does not differentiate it self from what it experiences until it starts to develo...

It does not work that way. It is though interactions with others that we come to realize that we are separate individuals with similar likes, dislikes...

This is also taken out of context. I am not sure what your point is? Yes, they are similar that is what I stated, but fine art is not instrumental bas...

Because they say "eat your beans, little meta"

So you are not denying that the individual distinguishes itself from the many because of the existence of other persons. My contention is that in the ...

Here is what you said: An individual suggests a differentiation, and how could that differentiation be possible if not from other individuals..duh.

I tried to indicate that such logical assertions can't begin to explain people. Your description also didn't sound very logical for that matter. Lacan...

The infant child does not identify itself apart from its parents until it becomes self aware of itself as an independent agent, this is what Freud is ...

A human infant cannot survive without a caregiver that's a fact and all children by definition have parents. People are not numbers, and logic alone c...

Meta levels...we become self aware, we are not born that way, and we are able to make ourselves an object of our own thought. We do it, you want to ca...

Our existence lacks any purpose without love, regardless of money, possessions and all the trappings of success. Erich Fromm

So no one raised you? You didn't learn how to be a person on your own, sure consciousness but you learnt how to be conscious by studying what others w...

I don't think so. You were raised by some one and they told you who your are, sure you are conscious but only because there are others that you have m...

Why? It seems to me that we only become who we are by way of others.

Yes, because Marlowe apparent;y met with Giordano Bruno in 1880s when Bruno visited London. Bruno was kind of a nut, but a well informed nut.
