Let’s Begin…
The traditional model of our mental function is that first our senses provide data to our brain, which then translates those senses into the appropriate mental phenomena: light into visual images, air vibrations into auditory experiences, etc. But what if that process is actually occurring simultaneously? Danko Nikolić describes the theory of ideasthesia.
Should we strive to maximize ideasthesia in our lives? Or are we fine separating sensation and meaning, enjoying sensations that don't have meaning and finding meaning without experiencing sensation?
