No 'history of ideas' takes place in isolation from the blood and sweat of general history.

Indeed, it may be argued that the other in the face-to-face situation is more real to me than I myself.

While I am capable of engaging in doubt about its reality, I am obliged to suspend such doubt as I routinely exist in everyday life.

By playing roles, the individual participates in a social world. By internalizing these roles, the same world becomes subjectively real to him.

The final goal of [nihilation] is to incorporate the deviant conceptions within one’s own universe, and thereby to liquidate them ultimately.

[whentheynyan]

man is capable paradoxically of producing a reality that denies him.

[whentheynyan]

[whentheynyan]

There is always more objective reality 'available' than is actually internalized in any individual consciousness
