Abstract

The subject of the article is the epoch-making images of mind as products of “education” in the sense of the Platonic paideia or the Hegelian concept of Aufhebung (sublation). Images of this kind are created by “looking back” on ourselves. Such conversion reveals ourselves for the first time and acquires different scopes embracing both individual “self-identification” and epoch-making comprehension. The very name of this event of anthropogenesis — self-identification, indicates identity as its center and periphery at the same time, since in this event there (every time) comes true everything, i.e. the whole world with all its inhabitants including those who exist exclusively in the whole world, without knowing it as a whole and always inquiring about it in general. When they “came to themselves”, i.e. achieved self-identity, they had already found themselves  abandoned in one or another world whose wholeness may vary, manifesting itself in different epoch-making images of “cosmic” mind: The Aristorelian mind-prime mover, the Divine mind of our Father, Lord of all creation (in this case it is “super cosmic”) or the mind of a New European human.
