However, the other selfcan beapproved when one finds out (constitutes) such a basis. The concept of the other self is characterized by this intangibility of the basis of the performance and observer's inevitable understanding of it, and its investigation is to consider how to constitute the model to understand such a contradictory aspect. I considert hat the aspect of appearance of animal autonomy in an observer is the very appropriate model.Then, I have constituted some behavioral experiments and suggested a methodology for ‘the science to understand the other self'. This study deeply correlates with psychology and cognitive science that investigate the origin of the mind and representation.

The living organism can thus be viewed as the material process that breaches the material order. In this way, the virtual becomes operative in the real through the anticipative procedures of the organism, giving rise to novelty. A similar idea is entertained by Kant in the Critique of the Power of Judgment, where he links the idea of the inexplicability of the organism with that of a breach in the immanent order without appealing to anything beyond mateial forces. In this paper, an attempt is made at clarifying the precise way in which the organism is recalcitrant to traditional notions of explication by examining and relating the views of Kant and Bergson on the subject. Both thinkers struggle to clarify the relation between organization on the one hand and temporality on the other. I suggest that their casting talk of organization in terms of retrograde temporality is an attempt to come to terms indirectly with the challenge the organism poses to any traditional model of temporality.
