Psychonic A Priori Truths
Abstract
This work posits that the Kantian noumenal world, the absolute vacuum in Mocombeian ontology and epistemology, is knowable through twelve categories of consciousness, which reveals its (the noumenal worlds) psychonic a priori Truths. In other words, I utilize Mocombe’s phenomenological structural epistemology and ontology of the absolute vacuum to refute Kant’s epistemological unknowability of the noumenal world, and to argue that it (the noumenal world) is a part of the structure of our experience and its Truths are knowable through paranormal and parapsychological processes of consciousness.
