@@Philosophy_Overdose Indeed, the fact that he concludes the report of self-knowledge to be partially constituted of self-knowledge blew my mind. I've been thinking this kind of things for a long time. I usually need writing or out load enunciation to be critically thinking. When I am alone, I actually imagine saying things to achieve deductive goals. And in fact now I (literally) understand why perfectly sane people talk to themselves to progress in a certain task. Apart from this, his exploration of the immunity of self-knowledge to skepticism and his decomposition of it in terms of authority and objectivity is among the clearest expositions I've ever seen. Philosophy Overdose, you never disappoint me.

As I said on the other channel, this is still the best talk I've ever heard on self-knowledge and the issues that arise surrounding it.

I'm imagining that a good method of therapy would be to present powerful art to encourage perspective for contextualizing and then gradually unfold awareness of self by understanding experience through therapy. Context is where common ground exist. The problem with that is what is powerful art? Well, I would say think of stain glass windows of the old churches and the primitive yet powerful effect it had consciousness, especially because the art was contextualized in instructions of various kinds. Without the art, instructions or guidance would be futile. Art is the most versatile medium of expression we have and contains truths and inspires perspective. I think the trickiest thing to consider is what kind of art to that individual that will insight a realization in that person to self.

There is a whole field of psychology dedicated to this, look up art therapy. It has visual arts branches, dance and movement, music, bibliotherapy... Art and psychology goes back a century to Jung and his symbolism
