  1. Dear Yuri,

    According to my data, the answer is this.

    Yes, another person is needed to start the process of learning about yourself and the World around you. And the bigger the other Person is, the more effective and deeper the learning process will be. Hence the idea that you can only become a person next to another Person.

    Simply put, a Person can be understood as someone who has managed to overcome the reptile and monkey in himself and develop precisely Human qualities: Cooperation, co-operation and other Co-operation activities…

    On the other hand, the child is given by Nature the ability to identify patterns of the Surrounding World. For example, they can learn 2 different languages if they are spoken by people nearby. After leaving the crib, the child begins to master the room, apartment, house, space around the house. I've seen it on my three kids.

    The child in his research would have mastered the World, if there were no restrictions of adults: going down there, going down here, going nowhere.

    How do you like this answer?

    All reasonable things!

  2. To start the process of cognition, a person, on the one hand, needs another person, and on the other – Another, but not a person.

    Knowledge is always the result of a question. No question , no knowledge. The appearance of a question is a consequence of a contradiction in the available data regarding an event that has the status of necessary for understanding. In simple words: a person perceives two opposite signs of the same object. If the disagreement cannot be resolved by deconstructing one of the two attributes, then the process of thinking begins, which ends with finding the principle that ensures the existence of these two attributes simultaneously.

    The human capacity for knowledge that goes far beyond the abilities of animals is ensured by the fact that a contradiction is sewn up in man, which is permanent and can never be eliminated. This contradiction is a consequence of the discrepancy between the word and its meaning. The word replaces its meaning. A person uses a word as if the word is identical to the meaning. The habit of using words in this way is an inevitable consequence of humanization. It is impossible to be a human being without treating the word as something real. A person who notices a contradiction between a word and a meaning gets into the process of constantly finding out the meaning of the words used. Wittgenstein said that finding out the meaning of words is the only task of philosophy.

    Let's pay attention once again to the fact that the word is not identical to its meaning. The word I is also not identical to its meaning, like any other word. As Jacques Lacan correctly pointed out, “The subject's ego and the self of his story do not coincide.” Discrepancy in what a person thinks (calls) your self and what that Self really is is revealed whenever a person cannot afford the behavior that they would like to allow themselves. This Self, which does not correspond to our story about our own Self, is a certain Other, sewn into our self-perception, which we try to correspond to. But since we can't match this Other Self, we try to please it, to please it, to reconcile with it, so that it doesn't show up at all or appears as rarely as possible. We will not now go into the question of the origin of this Other, since the subject of the question is the faculty of cognition.

    Let's summarize the above. The word, like any other sign, only indicates the meaning, but does not correspond to it. The main road sign itself is a square plate with a certain pattern. The sign “apple” is not an apple, but is a series of letters connected in series. Now, behind the word I lies some Other Self, which is not identical with the Self.

    The tendency to notice the presence of Another Self within our Self is found during our interactions with other people. We notice that we would like to interact in one way, but we interact in a different way. Our self, when communicating with a significant person for us, is very clearly stratified into two parts. The more important the other person is to us, the greater the discrepancy between our Self and the Other within us.

    Thus, in order to start the process of thinking, it is necessary, first, to notice the Other inside yourself, and secondly, to encounter another person who activates this Other inside us by his significance for us.

  3. Uh. Ah. Oh.

    Sometimes you need it, sometimes you don't need it.

    Human (seeking and eager for development) it is designed in such a way that it can start the start of changes from meeting a person, dog, horse, or flower. Or no meeting at all.

    Yes, it happens that a “fateful meeting” revives those who did not plan to develop. But without a guarantee or need.

  4. I don't think it's necessary. The push is important-this is undoubtedly true, but what will push and how much, and besides, how much a person will push-it all varies. Circumstances can push (for example, the death of loved ones or some kind of dissatisfaction with life), or people can push (a good teacher, a friend who offends or on the contrary is too often offended). But how much and what a person will push depends on the character: you are inclined to go into dreams, or adhere to the principle of reality.

  5. There is a saying that if you are the smartest in some place, then you are in the wrong place. There should always be someone around you who knows more.

  6. Competition is the key to progress. If someone really needs an example, then take the same wars, the very peak of rivalry and it is also the peak of the development of technologies and other branches of various sciences…

    PS-Why can't you express your thoughts in 3 words?..I don't think there are such stupid people on this site that they wouldn't understand my message…

  7. Well, do we have nothing else to study in the world? A person, in principle, is initially and completely self-sufficient, his knowledge can go inside himself, subjects are not required for this

  8. Don't need it! A spiritual rush to knowledge can happen to a person at any time, at any age, under any circumstances, and he does not need other people.

  9. I am afraid that the question requires clarification, since it is not clear from what point to consider the process of cognition to be started. One of the variants of the question. The child was born-there was a man involved-and then left in the woods. Suppose that a she-wolf, as usual, could nurse a baby. This baby is growing up. What do we consider a condition for the beginning of the process of cognition in him? Rock art or what?

  10. Based on my experience, you need it! I have all the processes of learning started due to the fact that all my relatives are very smart and knowledgeable people. They answered my questions to the last.

    They saw that I lacked the knowledge and understanding to search for answers on my own. When they thought I was old enough to think, they started referring me to books instead of quoting them themselves.
