This work addresses the problem, risen to relevance in the present age, that men find
themselves divided into groups, each group united by sharing a particular ideology or reli-
gion which at the same time divides them from another correlative group. This problem reaches
its zenith in the current ideological conflict between Communism and Capitalism.
The author suggests that the problem lies in the fact that these solutions' are 'singly-
reflexed' in that they 'solve' the human predi- cament only once-over relative to themselves-
Deified and presupposed, resulting in their warping the real nature of the objective-
problem (the other-ideology) to fit themselves and their sub-conscious invisible purposes. This
philosophical problem of essence thus runs parallel with the psychic problem of existence
pertaining to human nature itself. It results in the respective adherents' tilting at windmills
which they, unlike Don Quixote, construct deliberately in order to avoid attacking the real
problem and solving it, (a) because that real problem includes themselves and (b) because
that real solution includes their Other. Thus, on all sides they neither have “identicity” to
themselves in that they are not what they 'think' and pretend they are but are rather their
deliberately-hidden sub-conscious purposes, nor do they have “else-relatedness” to their object
because they are themselves such that they must "destroy him to save him."
