[UNLOCKED] Vol. XII: Mirrors Pt. 2- Narcissus (Version 2)
Manage episode 515388958 series 2922688
Spiegel Im Spiegel Im Spiegel
It has been said that it is a symbol of the imagination--or of consciousness--in its capacity to reflect the formal reality of the visible world. It has also been related to thought, in so far as thought--for Scheler and other philosophers--is the instrument of self-contemplation as well as the reflection of the universe. This links mirror-symbolism with water as a reflector and with the Narcissus myth: the cosmos appears as a huge Narcissus regarding his own reflections in the human consciousness. --J.E. Cirlot
