Immediate Experiential Cognition: The Inherent Human Capacity of Immediate Engagement (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780692251102)

Materialistic, Western philosophy has elevated the capacity of the intellect as the final arbiter in the determination of what constitutes reality. However, upon closer examination, through the oblique manner of its functioning, it is found that reason is far from fallible.Similarly, the feeling-sentient nature of the human being only offers subjective evaluation and, consequently, remains unable to provide conclusive evidence concerning the nature of existence. However, inherent to the authentic, intrinsic identity of the human being, resides the capacity to directly engage phenomena and discover their essential condition. The human singularity of existence experientially ascertains the inherent significance of a thing, without reliance upon the abstractly functioning intellect, or of evaluation through subjective sentiment.
