EXILE: Superman #28 – Starts with a good recap. Apparently, Brainiac was injured in the Invasion and is now back within the clutches of Lexcorp (and senses/tells that S is no longer around). CK’s expose is being published, re. Edge’s Galaxy co. and Intergang. First world S visits is lifeless, reminding him of the horror; nearly crashes into a star; saves an alien from crash...

Nb. this is on the bit starting C.AA.V(231), but before it begins C.AA.V.A (nb. noted below) [231] “But in this object, in which it finds that its own action and being, as being that of this particular consciousness, are being and action in themselves, there has arisen for consciousness the idea of Reason, of the certainty that, in its particular individuality, it has being absolutely in...
[207/42] Stb: The UC is *like* a spirt, in that it contains two parts, and also their unity. But it is not aware of this, and so experiences itself as both, then as one when it identifies itself as both, but thus returns again. The “two” I’m referring to are self as immutable and self as mutable (via the duplication, as #206 calls it, of skepticism). [208] Returning movements:...

Enlightenment as an attempt to amalgamate two views: man as generator of objectivity, and (thence) man as subject of nature – nb. tension. The desacralizing efforts of...
————– B.IV.B. Stoicism et al. ————– Re. stoicism: “The retreat towards inner self-identity cannot bring freedom for an embodied subject whose real freedom must thus be externally expressed in a way of life. Stoicism is thus in contradiction with itself, it is a putative realization of freedom which is, in fact, its negation. As...
Must (self) consciousness have “desire” or is it rather the case that is only through desire that self-consciousness can experience?

SC is defined as “the...
