the idea of what is -
we begin with what we observe
that which is object - to our subject
it is clear isn't it that subjectivity is thus
a reflection - back from or out of the objective
this reflection reveals mind - consciousness -
the internal
(and could you say - reveals mind as self-conscious?)
this revelation is in a sense - the objectivity of
consciousness - of subjectivity
consciousness is not observable
(is it any less objective?)
anyway -
it is clear that the objective is but one dimension
of the understanding -
of what is
and beyond this?
the unknown
what is - as undefined
so objective / subjective ways of approaching the unknown
this is not arbitrary - at this level -
categories have a hard significance to them
we begin - and we do well to begin with these notions
what becomes of such understandings is an open question
it's a matter of hitting the boards - so to speak
and so
mind and matter - posits of the understanding
and the understanding in itself - a logical space -
a pure emptiness
no ontology - no epistemology
a place with no permanent residents
some long term renters
and the odd transient
