Guest guest Posted November 5, 2003 Report Share Posted November 5, 2003 (Pete would answer in this manner:) Dear eric, noumenal, which refers us to kantian philosophy doesn't mean much out of its original context but within our reference frame in this list would be likened to the indian " neti neti " , a denial of any sensual or consensual experience, when by negation we have trim all what cannot be the self (our emotions, thoughts, anger, pleasure and pain, the body) we arrive at the unspeakable substratum (the tao that can be said is not the tao); thus noumenal is a negative concept yours friendly, Pete Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
