Meditations on Transcendental Realism: a Study in Being and Existence Jack Ferguson

As a conjunction of soul and matter, mind is a paradigmatically polar unity that transcendentally enters the realms of matter or mind, for it can examine matter or ideas effortlessly, but often confuses the two sides reifying the object as entirely material (Materialism) or ideational (Transcendental Idealism); born within solipsism, the emerging mind must devise instruments to escape its isolation and overcome its ignorance and deceptive presentations, but in order to realize that the representation is a composite of interior and exterior energies, the intended object must pass through instruments to reach the realm of extension in order to verify manifesting structures within empirical patterns thereby correcting the object before returning to itself in controlled and predicted representations. Certain it has generated the real object, it proclaims truth.
