0012 Centuries ago, the scholastic hylomorphe, matter [substantiates] form<\/em>, occupies the slot of what is<\/em> for a rational intellect.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The positivist rule dissolves this hylomorphe and precipitates another dyad, a noumenon [cannot be objectified as] its phenomena<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The noumenon<\/em> is the thing itself<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Phenomena<\/em> are observable and measurable facets of the noumenon<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The original hylomorphe gets shuffled into the noumenon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The positivist intellect has a rule.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

0013 Here is a picture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

0014 I ask, “What is it to be a human being?”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Obviously, the relevant answer points to the noumenon<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, I should look to metaphysics<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

0015 But, the positivist intellect says, “No metaphysics is allowed.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Scientists are only interested in the observable and measurable facets<\/em> of matter [substantiates] form,<\/em> as well as of body [substantiates] soul<\/em>.  They are not concerned about the noumenon<\/em>.  Their observations may be mechanically modeled.  Their measurements may be mathematically construed.  Their models rely on the lingo of specialized disciplines<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Scientists engage in empirio-schematic judgments, the\u00a0what ought to be<\/em>\u00a0of the Positivist’s judgment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

0016 Okay, if this makes sense, then the dyad, expressing\u00a0what is<\/em>\u00a0for the Positivist judgment, provides a way to appreciate\u00a0the mirroring of the question<\/em>\u00a0raised by Jeff Hardin.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
