Historical Nature

The article presents arguments about the difficulties of thinking about thinking, notes the historical nature of both thinking itself and the dialogue about it. The author searches for allies for the thesis that thinking about thinking cannot complete itself because thinking about itself does not follow the cognitive strategy Subject/object. It is not possible, in an act of self-communication (self-recognition), to be both the interpretandum and the interpretans. An interpretandum cannot be simultaneously the interpretans in the thinking of the Self. The author gathers arguments for the thesis that thinking about thinking can be supported by the data on pre-philosophical thinking and on the mechanism of metamorphosis.

Different explanations are put forward for the late acquisition of the(or rouge task) in comparison to other mirror tasks. A particularly interesting hypothesis about factors that mask success in MSR task concerns the growth of the appreciation of standards of proper behaviour, noticing deviations from normality in objects and in their own action (Mitchell, 1993, 1994). Standard sensitivity is proposed as a core factor in determining the self recognition capability. To test this hypothesis, we observed 40 infants, aged between 15 and 24 months, confronted with a spot on a doll's face, on the infant's hand, on the observer's face, and on the infant's face. Our data suggest that sensitivity to standards can be seen as a necessary but not sufficient requirement for success in thetask: other capacities, namely the development of representation, may play a decisive role in the successful performance on thetask.

The Public Sphere

This essay takes a hard look at the current state of much academic (mainly analytic) philosophy and sets out to diagnose where things have gone wrong. It offers a sharply critical assessment of the prevailing narrowness, cliquishness, linguistic inertness, like-mindedness, intellectual caution, misplaced scientism, over-specialisation, guild mentality, lack of creative or inventive flair, and above all the self-perpetuating structures of privilege and patronage that have worked to produce this depressing situation. On the constructive side I suggest how a belated encounter with developments beyond its cultural-professional horizons – including certain aspects of ‘continental’ philosophy – might bring large (and reciprocal) benefits. I also offer some tentative ideas as to what ‘creativity’ could or should mean as applied to philosophical thinking and writing.

The region encompassing residues 13–23 of the amyloid beta peptide (Aβ(13–23)) of Alzheimer’s disease is the self-recognition site that initiates toxic oligomerization and fibrillization. A number of pseudopeptides have been designed to bind to Aβ(13–23) and been computationally shown to do so with high affinity. More interactions are available in full-length Aβ than are available in the shorter peptide. We describe herein a study by molecular dynamics (MD) of nine distinct complexes formed by one such pseudopeptide, SGA1, with full-length beta amyloid, Aβ(1–42). The relative stabilities of the Aβ–SGA1 complexes were estimated by a combination of MD and ab initio methods. The most stable complex, designated AB1, was found to be one in which SGA1 is bound to the self-recognition site of Aβ(1–42) in an antiparallel β-sheet fashion. Another complex, designated AB3, also involved SGA1 binding to the self-recognition region of Aβ(1–42), albeit with lower affinity. In both AB1 and AB3, SGA1 formed antiparallel β-sheets but to opposite edges of Aβ. A complex, AB4, with similar stability to AB3, was found with a parallel β-sheet in the self-recognition site. A fourth complex, AB7, also with similar stability, formed a parallel β-sheet in the hydrophobic central region of Aβ. In all cases, complexation of SGA1 induced extensive β-sheet structure in Aβ(1–42).

Empathy means understanding another person’s emotional or intentional state by vicariously sharing this state. As opposed to emotional contagion, empathy is characterized by the self–other distinction of subjective experience. Empathy develops in the second year, as soon as symbolic representation and mental imagery set in that enable children to represent the self, to recognize their mirror image, and to identify with another person. In experiments with 126 children, mirror recognition and readiness to empathize with a distressed playmate were investigated. Almost all recognizers showed compassion and tried to help, whereas nonrecognizers were perplexed or remained indifferent. Several motivational consequences of empathy are discussed and its special quality is outlined in comparison with theory of mind and perspective taking.

Introduction: The illness of an oncological disease provides experiences capable of modifying the body and the subjects' ways of life. Objective: To analyze how the knowledge of the self occurs facing the experience of illness by cancer and palliative care. Methods: This is a qualitative case study research based on post-critical theories, specifically in Foucault Studies. The participants were six patients who were experiencing cancer and palliative care, linked to a home hospitalization service. The data were collected from March to June 2018, based on open interviews, participant observation, and speech instigation through the use of occupational therapist therapeutic activities. The analysis occurred based on problematizations. Results: From the statements, different ways of getting sick were identified, from diagnosis to their approach to death, causing changes in the body, way of living, and in the perception of oneself from a life-threatening disease. Conclusion: Finally, we concluded that different ways of experiencing cancer and palliative care provided different modes of subjectivation. The lack of self-recognition was confronted by bodily changes and consequently by limitations, so the way this experience was lived reflected in the way they thought about the end of life.

Self Recognition

The capacity to track another’s perspective is present from early in life, with young infants ostensibly able to predict others’ behaviour even when the self and other perspective are at odds. Yet, infants’ abilities are difficult to reconcile with the well-documented challenge that older children face when they need to ignore their own perspective. Here we provide evidence that it is the emergence of self-representation, from around 18 months, that likely creates a perspective conflict between self and other. Using mirror self-recognition as a measure of self-awareness and pupil dilation to index conflict processing, our results show that mirror recognisers perceive greater conflict than non-recognisers when viewing a scenario in which the self and other have divergent perspectives, specifically when the conflict between self and other is salient. These results suggest that infants’ perspective tracking abilities may benefit from an initial absence of self-representation.
