Why does man raise questions? There are many criteria based on which man is distinguished from animal, such as language and logic. One peculiar aspect of man, in contrast with animals, is his ability to refuse to accept matters of fact, to turn away in the face of the inevitable, to act as if, to … More Questionable World: A Phenomenology of Wonder
Each sphere of phenomenal Being can be divided into three complementary, logical moments: There is the ego which is the act center, the reference point relative to which the acts is defined and determined as the act that it is; then there are acts themselves which are by nature intentional: They have a center from … More Ego-Cogito-Cogitata
Transcendental Phenomenology is a system of philosophy created by Edmund Husserl, the 20th century German philosopher. Phenomenology is the a priori science of experience: It studies experience without reference to assumptions posited by experience. Phenomenology considers experience in itself and without assuming anything about the reality or unreality of the contents of experience. The experience … More Transcendental Phenomenology: A Priori Science of Consciousness
[The wave image below depicts a wave packet, the wave aspect of a particle; but unlike the physical particle this wave packet is not in physical space; it is a vibration in an abstract mathematical space known as Hilbert Space. The only physical significance of this vibration is that it is related to the probability … More From Quantum Physics to Advaita Vedanta Metaphysics
Revelation which is by definition the echo of the Absolute and the infinite truth in the valley of the relative and finite existence is a revelation in names and forms.

Transcendental contents, on the other hand, which can be talked in the abstract through concepts, are conditions for the possibility of the sense of experience. For example, … More Morphology of Truth III

The study of the experience of seeing can give us clues into … More Truth Hidden in Plain Sight: Cosmos as the embodiment of consciousness
We use the capital letter B in Being to distinguish Being from being. We follow Heidegger in doing so. Being cannot be defined; to define is to reduce to more basic and fundamental elements; but Being is the most fundamental category; there is nothing more fundamental to which Being can be reduced; thus, Being cannot … More Being in Time: The Primacy of Consciousness
Truth is traditionally defined as that which cannot not be; it is necessary by its nature; it also has to be absolute. What is relative is dependent, and hence not marked by necessity but rather by accident. Truth cannot belong to the sphere of Being and existence; it is not something that can be said … More Morphology of Truth II
