[KS] [NEW BOOK] We as Self: Ouri, Intersubjectivity, and Presubjectivity

[Angel H Kim]

We as Self
Ouri, Intersubjectivity, and Presubjectivity
HYE YOUNG KIM

We as Self argues for a notion of we-ness based not on a self-centered or a
self-less point of view, in which the “we” is only either a collection of
individuals or an anonymous whole, but on “relation.” This relation is
pre-subjective, meaning that the conscious, reflective, subjective self is
not the conceptual basis of the relation. The irreducible metaphysical
distinction between self and other is always there, but the awareness of it
is not prior to this relation, which is an ontological pre-condition of
self. Hye Young Kim demonstrates that the distinction and unity of self and
other in this relation can be comprehended spatially by applying knot
logic. The author analyzes certain linguistic practices in Korean to show
one representation of pre-subjective we-ness in language, but not in an
ethnographical manner. By doing so, the author criticizes and challenges
the Eurocentric tendency of philosophy and contributes to efforts to expand
diversity in philosophy.
