What's the meaning of "as of"?
Hi,
what's the meaning of "as of" ? specially in this paragraph:
... we reviewed the several levels of self that develop as we grow; From the foundational layer as of personality that shape how we process information from the world around us to the rise of the self-concept, a sense of distinctive existence that we can observe in our own minds, ...
and this one:
"I might as well doubt of my own being, as of the being of those things I actually see and feel."
I've looked up the word in dectionary and it says : "from, at, or until a given time"
but this does not make sense in above sentences, does it?
