Self as a modality of experience appears in daily life primarily through the will and so accompanied by a striving or incompleteness. More rarely a different kind of epiphany of the self can arise wholly through feeling as aroused by the aesthetic sense. In this case, free from all striving, it is of a different ontological nature, complete in itself and outside of time and space. This is not the ordinary kind of aesthetic pleasure, but a sese of pure affirmation which is both particular and general and not susceptible to 'deconstruction'.
