Noumena of Consciousness

Jan Trąbka

Abstract

Kantian noumena (contrary to phenomena) fill the essential consciousness – self, i.e. the Freudian ‘deep ego’. As noumena, they emerge hidden and virtual reality in the brains, as well as the potential of the human mind, which – according to G. G. Globus – may be grasped only by means of ‘direct and cogitative knowledge’. The apparent paradox formulated by H. Kuhlenbeck that ‘the brains thinks about the world and itself is rejected.

Adoption of the Chaotic and Gnostic conception enabled to terminate the ‘symbolic pregnancy’ of E. Cassirer and eliminate the differences between A. Weil’s Land of Simplicity and Magic Town. It also helped R. W. Sperry to find a way out of his problems concerning the interpretation of split brains. The paper puts emphasis on the Gnostic character of N. Wiener’s thesis about attraction and repulsion, which gave rise to A. M. Dewan’s idea of a ‘virtual manager’ ad made it possible to explain the concept of ‘sympathy among clocks’ proposed by Ch. Huygens. The significance of A. Kimble humanistic revolution, which combines classical studies with Gnostic and Chaotic philosophy of life, is also discussed in the paper.
