There is that-for-the-sake-of-which and an 'I' only as a moveable token for it. To view things in this way is to have silently taken up certain assumptions about the kinds of things that are real, about the being of phenomena. Under slightly different assumptions the 'I' is beyond question but misunderstands itself by objectifying some phenomena and subjectifying others. The way things are must be supremely simple and grasped before any thought. is applied.
