All experience is particular and even if it makes sense to speak of a concrete universal this only means that experience is not bound by the particular that it is. To be particular is to have a body and a world, and for that body in turn to have a place, a mode of participation in its world. The distinction between a body and its world is an ongoing tension which finally is inherent or inherited from the world in which it finds itself. Every world may itself be a body for experience within a larger world. And every way within a world is a crooked way; that is its particularity, its possibility of experience, as what is crooked is always in tension as if it seeks to become straight or perfectly conformed to what gives it being. There is no limit to bodies either above or below. So there is nothing special about self-consciousness or the soul but only a way that consciousness sees its resolution within an expression of particularity.
