Augustine on Self-Talk - Dictionary of Arguments
Bubner I 138 Self-talk on good/evil/Augustine/Bubner: existential examination of the essentials of the way of life: "suddenly a voice rises like myself" (!), whether it is someone else but me or within me is not known. Purpose of the self-talks: finding out precisely this. He calls the talker Ratio and answers him in dialogue. Augustine: he claims not to know whether the talker was material or immortal, but what he thought was true and knowable. Reflection/Bubner: what happens in it? Surely it is not a straightforward reflection. There is a core of the ego that is not questioned. But in meditation is uncertain who or what I am. God, who is not the partner of the conversation, still forms the reference point. Objective: Discovery of one's own self. >Reflection. Doubt/Augustine: Doubt and deception mean a defect, which, however, cannot be understood without the idea of perfection that compensates for the defect. >Doubt, >Deception._____________Explanation of symbols: Roman numerals indicate the source, arabic numerals indicate the page number.
