Savižinos raiška komparatyvistiniu požiūriu: Hegelio ir Laozi atvejai
The Expression of Self-Knowledge Comparatively: Hegel And Laozi’s Cases

Summary/Abstract: The article focuses on the aspects of self-expression that are revealed in the ethical and cognitive activities of individuals. With reference to Laozi's philosophy, the ideological proposition that has risen from Hegel's thinking and has rooted in modernity, is disputed. This proposition voices that specialists of a particular scientific field are confident bearers of reliable truth. This view is opposed to the mystery of nature and human origin, the depths of which no empirical science can exhaust. By exploring one‘s inner world, by cultivating spirit educative moral values and beliefs, it is possible to avoid the opposition between illusions created by the individual and reality. This calls for the aspiration to learn oneself, put efforts in the process to develop, and confidence in a spiritual being higher than man himself.
