The science of consciousness is facing severe conceptual problems. A new unified theory of knowledge can help point the way toward better understanding.
Related to these problems, humanity has two great perspectives, the intrinsic and extrinsic.with a review of “humanity’s two perspectives on the world.” I learned of Hoel’s capacity for depth and nuance when I came across hisdivides mental processes into three domains and shows that subjective conscious experience can be labeled as the domain of Mind2.
It takes the scientist Galileo Galilei to fully understand the importance of cleaving the extrinsic from the intrinsic, allowing the extrinsic perspective to crystallize into science. And yet, despite all the progress that has been made since then, it is increasingly clear that science cannot ignore the intrinsic perspective.
To see this, we can begin by aligning Hoel’s analysis of the science of consciousness and its problems with what UTOK calls the Enlightenment Gap . As I defined it in, the EG “refers to the joint problem that emerged in the wake of the scientific Enlightenment of placing mind in proper relation to matter and scientific knowledge in relationship to social and subjective knowledge systems.
It reads, “Throughout history, two perspectives on the world have dueled in our minds: the “extrinsic”—that of physics and mechanism—and the “intrinsic”—that of feelings, thoughts, and ideas….These perspectives have never been reconciled; they almost seem to exist on different planes of reality.” In addition to mapping important ontological differences, UTOK also gives us clear frames to make very clear epistemological differences between the objective-natural science vector of knowing relative to the subjective-psyche vector of knowing. This is UTOK's distinction between the Tree of Knowledge System and the iQuad Coin.
