Document Summary
Conscious of ourselves and conscious of the world. Consciousness proper (not self-consciousness) is something other than itself: e. g. sensation exists, but i"m not thinking of myself as capable of sensation, so domain of consciousness was just concerned with the outside world. If there wasn"t a self-consciousness that was perceiving and experiencing the world, none of the stuff in the world would have a reality. Now, self-consciousness is studying itself so, new object of study. Phenomenology is the study of what appears. We"re studying the appearance of experience phenomenology of spirit: as we go along, we realize this is human experience. We have a divided object two sided = life. Genus species = determination: s169 to give something a concrete definition, something is indeterminate when it has boundaries, is solid, 169 definition of life. Life is a genus to tell you what the world is like and tell you how individual things get their reality.
