no doxa!

Nothing we can perceive of our environment is a direct grasps full reality, what we perceive is a twisted understanding of a limited access to reality.

nothing we can talk of can reach beyond the boundaries of our images. But exactly are the process of those images which act in and even change the physical environment?

There we need the help of Spinoza to help us assume that nothing we can know of are more than piles of proteins synthesized and stored in brain. bunch of chemical and physical causality twisted in many levels and maintains selection for it is beneficial for all levels of substance. You are attributing fear to events because your neural processes fire differently at that time causing a protein synthesis. Your fear may become extinct through different processes which will eventually result in a better image of your self. What we refer to as substances, attritutes and modes are different mental representations through our very own subjectivism and led by the same course of nature however categorized under different paradigms in every sense. Commensurability is essential for an integration of all our knowledge on all courses of nature.

But are we sure that those processes are nomological and deterministic. Our consciousness floats in time in its own movement where we look at and see "evolution". It has taken millions of years for human understanding to come to realize the significance of time over substance in all levels.

Let's see where consciousness leads us?
Or can we lead it?
