About this title

Synopsis

This book draws the limits of our thoughts and consciousness between the mind and
mind-independent reality by using mathematical logic with the support of neurology.
Diagnosing the limits between immanence and transcendence of the consciousness
depends on dening some transcendental a priori categories in between as some
basic axioms of the mind. Although this is a paradoxical attempt every philosopher
falls into, the author non-paradoxically identies these non-intentional cognitive
categories by using mathematical category theory. e author denes the intentional
categories of consciousness by using mathematical set theory and obtains a selfrepresentational
higher-order theory of consciousness (SHOT). Finally, he combines
the intentional and non-intentional categories with an algebraic topography and
obtains a model of the mind.

About the Author

Meric Bilgic is a philosopher who comes from the Husserlian and Kantian tradition
of the philosophical circles of Leuven/Belgium and Istanbul/Turkey. He worked in
all major branches of philosophy, and he still teaches. He works on a universalizable
Cartesian ground for science and philosophy by synthesizing the analytic and
continental traditions in philosophy of mind. He is the owner of a philosophical
theory called Anthropogonia in the eld of philosophical anthropology.
