Self-knowledge

"In the act of knowing myself, I become subject and object simultaneously. This peculiar sort of knowledge also dismantles the dichotomy between thought and action, or fact and value - for to know myself is to alter myself in that very act, and to grasp the truth of my condition is to know what I would need in order to be free."
- Terry Eagleton on Georg Lukacs
