Скачать или смотреть The Philosophy of Reflexivity

This video presents the Philosophy of Reflexivity of German Idealism (Hegel, Fichte, Schiller, Kant, etc.).

Reflection shifts something to another place by copying it and thereby evokes the concern for a true image. The quest for a true representation of nature or culture begins. Reflexivity, on the other hand, complicates the whole undertaking by adding the observer into the picture and creating an infinite repetition that prevents consciousness to ever come to rest in the truth.
