Looking at Daniel Houck’s Book (2020) “Aquinas, Original Sin and the Challenge of Evolution” (Part 11 of 23)

0109 Currently, is there a science that corresponds to the noumenon that is presented in the situation level of divine suprasubjectivity?  Or… human subjectivity?

Sociology?  Anthropology?  Cultural studies?

Shall I mention that the turtle has stopped moving and may be decomposing?

Here, it becomes apparent that the stimuli imposed by cognitive psychology mimics nature’s significations and hand talk.  The quizzical implication is that these signs are generated by a suprasensible being.

The corresponding sensations and feelings2a should be adaptive.

Then, the imagination1b attempts to situate these sensations and feelings2a, in the normal context of what does this mean to me3b.

0110 Does cognitive psychology apply?

Can cognitive psychology manipulate a situation well enough as to observe reproducible phantasms?

Or, do experimental psychologists only succeed in producing, in human subjects, the phantasms that they expect to see?

If this is the case, then do they act in the place of the hypothetical suprasensible being, mentioned above?

Hmmm.

Or, do they illuminate innate operations of the imagination1b in response to particular sensations and feelings2a in conditions3a,1a mimicking the environment of evolutionary adaptation?

However one answers these questions, those productions, actions and illuminations highlight the revelatory nature of the situation level of divine suprasubjectivity.

0111 The situation level of divine suprasubjectivity poses an amazing challenge for Sociology, Anthropology and Cultural Studies.

I observe the turtle.  It seems dead.  I can conduct an experiment.  I can place it in a body of water, like the pond outside.

The normal context of the Creation Story3b and the potential that is creation1b appear as primary causation to a secondary causation that changes dramatically when humans pass from the Lebenswelt that we evolved in to our current Lebenswelt.  Phantasms2b in our current Lebenswelt are not the same as those in the Lebenswelt that we evolved in.

0112 Why?

Our current phantasms2b are not virtually contextualized by original justice2c.

The phantasms2b of the prelapsarian Adam, as well as those who live in the world of hand-speech talk, are.

These phantasms express the same hylomorphe, perceptive soul [informs] reactive body2b.

0113 Surely, phantasms2b have facets that can be observed and measured.  These noumena should have corresponding phenomena.  Is there an academic discipline that observes and measures these phenomena, builds models and discusses the topic in its own specialized language?

Personally, I do not think that any social science that adheres to the Positivist’s judgment satisfies this expectation.

0114 Here, I close the interlude with a sigh.

Aquinas and Peirce defy the rules of the positivist intellect and offer unexpected insights into who we are.

What is the potential1 of a turtle2?

It depends on the normal context3.
