1. ‘ “Selbsterkenntnis” ’. This should be carefully distinguished from the ‘Sichkennen’ discussed on H. 124-125. Perhaps this distinction can be expressed – though rather crudely – by pointing out that we are here concerned with a full and sophisticated knowledge of the Self in all its implications, while in the earlier passage we were concerned with the kind of ‘self-knowledge’ which one loses when one ‘forgets oneself’ or does something so out of character that one ‘no longer knows oneself’.
