You're listening to the partially examined life, a podcast by some guys who at one point

said undoing philosophy for a living but then thought better of it.

Our question for episode 274 is something like, what is the significance of self-consciousness?

And we're continuing from our previous episode, in reading Friedrich Wilhelm Josef Shellings

system of trans-addedal idealism from 1800. Since we apparently only finished the introduction

in the last discussion, this time we'd like to finish part one, look at the very brief

part two, maybe getting the very beginning of part three, who knows for more information,

please visit partiallyexaminalife.com. This is Mark Linsomire, deriving all truth from

just me being me in Madison, Wisconsin. This is Seth Pascon, exhibiting consciousness

itself through the aesthetic in Austin, Texas.

This is Wes Alman, self-supporting, and internally consistent with myself in Cambridge, Massachusetts.

All right. So Wes was just saying that we only finished the intro. I see at the end of

the intro is my note. Is it psychologist, which I used to kick off part two of our last

discussion? Maybe I put that in the wrong place, but I don't know. Seth, you seem to think

that we got up to page 14, which is about where I thought I actually saw things that we

had covered very thoroughly in our expository stuff up to a few pages after that. So I don't

really care.

Well, I agree with Wes. I don't think we work through the argument. Conversationally,

you touched up to page 20. I think you jumped ahead, but 14 substantively was about as much

meat on the bone. I agree with Wes. I think it would be good to kind of work through the

argument a little bit.

Yeah.
