ABSTRACT
The self is therefore the self only when speaking, when speaking to itself or to others, when it is telling itself what others say, and when, through speech it constitutes itself as the author of its history and of its world. This is so true that the articulation of the self' transcendence and of the immanence of its experience takes place necessarily within the field of experience. Nothing can be ‘thought’ which is not lived … This relationship is the radical index of the relationships of the self of experience, the self which is unceasingly present as the integrator of the field of experience, which is itself integrated during the historic unfolding of the self.
