“THE VIEW FROM THE SKY” AND SELF-CONSCIOUSNESS
“THE VIEW FROM THE SKY” AND SELF-CONSCIOUSNESS

Summary/Abstract: The idea of our text refers to the possibility of reaching a state of total detachment from the daily nothingness through a certain comprehensive capacity of ontologically penetrating things in their essentiality. Detachment does not mean, in our view, isolation (separation) from reality, it is symbolized by the enshrined expression “view from the sky”1 which cannot be attained without effort, without spiritual practice, without the examination of one’s conscience; the philosophical paradigm that we propose is the axiological prerequisite of acquiring self-consciousness, which should enable the “view from the sky” freely and wisely. Selfconsciousness could somehow coincide, in terms of the perspective proposed, with the consciousness of transcendence. Thus, the title of our article could become the profession of faith of each philosopher.
