The Correspondence Between Noumena and Phenomena
Question
Hello Rabbi,
One of the central principles in your quartet (at least in the first two books) is the correspondence between the way our intellect thinks and the world as it is in itself.
I would be grateful if you could elaborate on this here, or point me to places that demonstrate and expand on this topic in a convincing way.
Thank you.
Answer
I expanded on this there.
Discussion on Answer
Two Wagons, fourth section. Truth and Stability, fifth part.
Thank you.
If it’s not a bother, could you point me more precisely to where you expanded on the topic? (Reading the two books took a long time, and although during the reading I marked for myself to look further into the topic, I forgot where in the book it appears.)
I’d also be happy to read additional sources where this is discussed further, if that wouldn’t be too much trouble. (My academic background is in electrical engineering.)
Thank you.
