Excerpt from Philosophy as Metanoesis

p12 "True self-consciousness cannot come about through one continuous medium joining God and the realive.  The real awakening of self-consciousness in its religious or existential dimension comes only through 'death-and-resurrection' of a negative transformation that takes place between the absolute and the relative. A transforming mediation between self-surrender in metanoesis (repentance - ap0) and resurrection by Other-power can, together with the evidence of self-consciousness, provide philosophy with an objective ground.  As the sole self-mediating realization of philosophy, it seems to me that metanoesis is, therefore, open to everyone.  There is no other way of providing philosophy in the future with a sufficient transcendent ground for its absolute independence that to take the experience of action-faith-witness (gyo-shin-sho) as the starting point of our philosophy."
