The riddle posed by the double nature of the ego certainly lies beyond [the limits of science]. On the one hand, I am a real individual man, born by a mother and destined to carrying out real and psychical acts (far too many, I may think, if boarding a subway during an hour). On the other hand, I am “vision” open to reason, a self‐penetrating light, immanent sense‐giving consciousness, or how ever you may call it, and as such unique. (Weyl, Address , 3)
