Rödl, Sebastian,

Self-consciousness and objectivity : an introduction to absolute idealism / Sebastian Rödl. - Cambridge, Massachusetts : Harvard University Press, (c)2018. - 1 online resource (194 pages)

Includes bibliographies and index.

Objectivity versus the first person -- Propositions -- Denial of self-consciousness -- The science without contrary -- Objective judgment in Nagel and Moore -- The explanation of judgment -- The power of judgment -- The self-determination of the power -- The original act of judgment -- The identity of absolute and empirical knowledge.

Sebastian Rödl undermines a foundational dogma of contemporary philosophy: that knowledge, in order to be objective, must be knowledge of something that is as it is, independent of being known to be so. This profound work revives the thought that knowledge, precisely on account of being objective, is self-knowledge: knowledge knowing itself.--
