Abstract
Insofar as there is always something new to be discovered about my ordo amoris and individual destiny, then personal individuality is always transcendent in comparison with what I can know about it. Consequently, knowing myself means transforming myself: in fact, every self-discovery might give rise to a self-change. Far from being arbitrary, such self-transformations follow from the dynamic essence of my individuality. This dynamism implies that my process of self-shaping—Bildung—consists in a series of personal upheavals—each of them is an Umbildung. Consequently, identity is not the most crucial element with regard to our personal individuality. There are circumstances that force us to question ourselves and might give rise to corresponding self-changes. These self-variations, rather than mere exercises of self-interpretation, are the real opportunities we have to grasp the deepest facets of our individuality, ordo amoris and individual destiny.
