Even though we understand, when we understand, this does not mean that we are capable of staging our understanding. When self-understanding is implicit in understanding it seems that we can manage ourselves. e idea is that we are at home in self-understanding, since it is us who understand – ourselves. Self-understanding then appears as a kind of immanence that we establish through understanding (with) ourselves. Perhaps we should put into question this presupposition of the immanence of (self-)understanding.
