Another thing about consciousness: it has nothing to do with the Cartesian cogito, which means with that particular mental form of self-remembering which is an operation wholly within a certain formation in consciousness of no special kind. Consciousness, does not say 'I am' and indeed does not say 'I' at all. The 'I' depends on consciousness, and is something to do with its human form, but not with consciousness in its fully ontological sense. The human however in all its forms is a striving for a realisation of consciousness, but possessing no special relation to it its striving takes on all sorts of wild unguided forms.
