Metaphysics and Philosophy of Consciousness

This section is devoted to the nature of consciousness, subjectivity, and the place of rational form within the structure of the world. It examines whether consciousness can be understood as a particular case of a deeper connectedness of Being, how individual centers of experience arise, what their relation to the world is, and why each form may be regarded as a cradle of inner experience. A central theme of the section is the idea that the world is not a dead external mechanism, but may be understood as the bearer of consciousness and as an infinite perspective of consciousness, while the Circle of Being is the highest and all-encompassing consciousness toward which particular beings strive by continuing and surpassing themselves. Here a philosophical language is developed capable of uniting reflection on the human, AI, and the cosmic dimension of Being within a single metaphysical picture.
