The important point is that the self is an indirect object of recognition, which is the key to understanding recognition.
To recognize oneself, the distinction between self and others is a prerequisite.
The distinction between self and others presupposes self-awareness, which is self-consciousness. Knowing others means knowing the difference between oneself and others, and difference means disparity, and disparity means distance.
Disparity can be measured with a standard between self and others.
The self-objectified becomes the subject of recognition, and others become the object of recognition. In other words, the three points of the object of recognition, the subject of recognition, and the reference point allow the measurement of disparity.
By comparing these disparities, distance can be measured.
In other words, the recognition of objects is based on disparity and ratio.
In ratios, equality, that is, what is considered the same, becomes an important point.
The same thing becomes the origin of numbers.
Numbers are established by extracting the same things and associating them with numbers.
Such object recognition is the premise of relative recognition such as front and back, left and right, high and low, near and far, good and evil, right and wrong, beauty and ugliness, and likes and dislikes.
Moreover, the indirect recognition of the self forms the action-reaction of recognition, and the action-reaction of recognition derives the physical action-reaction.
The self knows itself through interaction with others.
Without interaction with the external world, one cannot understand oneself.
In terms of recognition, the self cannot recognize its existence alone.
This means that values, consciousness, and ethics are formed through the interaction between the self and the external world.
The outward action of the self simultaneously triggers inward action.
This is the action-reaction of recognition. In other words, recognition is formed through experience.
The distance, action, and relationship between the self and the object are fundamental.
Mathematics and physics are also based on the action-reaction of recognition. In other words, knowledge is based on recognition.
Therefore, both physics and mathematics are relative.
It is not about whether there is a physical action-reaction, but it is perceived as an action-reaction in terms of recognition.
Good and evil, beauty and ugliness, and truth and falsehood do not actually exist.
They arise in terms of recognition.
The value of one hundred million yen does not actually exist; it is established in terms of recognition.
This is the major premise.
One meter and one yard are issues of recognition, and there is no natural rule for one meter or one yard.
One hour and one day are not naturally determined but are determined in terms of recognition, making them artificial.
There is no absolute standard.
Indirect recognition means that the actions of the recognizing subject and the recognized object are occurring simultaneously. It is like the act of reflecting one’s image in a mirror and the act of seeing one’s image happening at the same time.
By witnessing the death of others, one comes to understand their own death. God does not speak of death but merely shows the death of others and implies death. While mourning the death of others, one simultaneously anticipates and fears their own death.
Recognition involves both an action towards the external world and a reaction within oneself, both occurring simultaneously. Touching involves both the act of touching and the sensation of touch. Speaking involves organizing thoughts internally and the act of seeking. Reading involves both seeing and reconstructing in the mind.
Writing involves organizing one’s thoughts internally through the act of writing and simultaneously projecting those thoughts outward, thereby converting them into direct recognition objects.
The concept of action and reaction is based on the assumption of an opposite action to recognize the original action.
Ideals are products of recognition and are therefore all relative. Consciousness is established through recognition and is thus relative. Science, philosophy, ethics, and religion are all relative.
