0155 What does it mean to say that science cannot be situated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here is a picture of the practice of natural science.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

0156 The normal context of a positivist intellect3a<\/sub><\/em> brings the actuality of the empirio-schematic judgment2a<\/sub><\/em> into relation with the potential of … phenomena1a<\/sub><\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Does this suggest that the noumenon<\/em> can be safely ignored?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

0157 The positivist intellect3a<\/sub> has a rule.  Metaphysics is not allowed.  Only instrumental and material causation may be discussed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

0158 The empirio-schematic judgment2a<\/sub> has three elements: relation,<\/em> what ought to be<\/em> and what is<\/em>.  Each of these is assigned to one of Peirce’s three categories.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A specific disciplinary language (relation,<\/em> thirdness) brings mathematical and mechanical models (what ought to be,<\/em>secondness) into relation with observations and measurements of phenomena (what is,<\/em> firstness).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

0159 The potential of … phenomena1a<\/sub><\/em> is really the potential of the dyad,<\/em> a noumenon [cannot be objectified as] its phenomena1a<\/sub><\/em>.   From the point of view of the positivist intellect, observations and measurements concern phenomena,<\/em> the observable and measurable facets of their noumenon,<\/em> the thing itself.  So, why worry about the noumenon?<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The noumenon is there because philosophers, such as Immanuel Kant, says that it must be there.  Philosophy cannot ignore the thing itself1a<\/sub> anymore than the positivist intellect1a<\/sub> cannot ignore its observable and measurable facets1a<\/sub>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

0160 What does that mean in terms of the two-level interscope?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Phenomena1a<\/sub> are potentials that are directly situated by observations and measurements2a<\/sub> in the normal context of the positivist intellect3a<\/sub>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Their noumenon1a<\/sub> is virtually situated by a potential1<\/sub> belonging a category-based nested form on the situationb<\/sub> level.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a>
Figure 67<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Yes, the situation-level potential1b<\/sub> virtually situates the noumenon1a<\/sub>, just as the content-level actuality2a<\/sub> directly situates its phenomena1a<\/sub>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

0161 The practices of the natural sciences<\/em> compose the content-level<\/em>.  If scientists have their way, their work focuses on instrumental and material causalities and ignores the objective world.  Natural scientists are only interested in empirio-schematic inquiry into their subject matter<\/em>.  They are not interested in what it signifies<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yet, some clever philosophers, responding to the birth and growth of science in the West, place a caveat that practicing natural scientists pragmatically ignore.  But, no one else can ignore the noumenon1a<\/sub>, because it is a gateway to the objective world, the intersubjective world, and the commerce of intellectuals who try to figure out what the thing itself means <\/em>and what it can be used for<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

0162 And, if Deely is correct, our objective world is real, even though it is filled with illusions, delusions, truths and revelations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

Triadic relations are real.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

0163 As for the remainder of the situation-level nested form, consider the series of commentaries and articles titled, Phenomenology and the Positivist Intellect,<\/em> by Razie Mah, available at smashwords and other e-book venues.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
