Truth lies, not in the mind, nor in the "natural" objects of perception, but in the interaction between the two. As soon as we encounter the world, we, as conscious subjects, start to give it meaning. A solid foundation for knowledge can only be secured by a rigorous method that returns us to the immediate experience of consciousness. We can only hope to know the "things themselves" by interrogating the life of the consciousness which intends these things - that "<A HREF="../t03/g053.html" TARGET="_top">transcendental</A> self" which alone is capable of producing valid universal knowledge. <BR clear=left><BR> <HR width=100%> <A HREF="http://www.creatorix.com.au"><IMG SRC="../creatorix.gif" WIDTH="85" HEIGHT="40" BORDER="0" ALT="Creatorix" align=right></A> </BODY>
