Critique of Rationality

By Meriç Bilgiç

This book draws the limits of our thoughts and consciousness between the mind and
mind-independent reality by using mathematical logic with the support of neurology.
Diagnosing the limits between immanence and transcendence of the consciousness
depends on dening some transcendental a priori categories in between as some
basic axioms of the mind. Although this is a paradoxical attempt every philosopher
falls into, the author non-paradoxically identies these non-intentional cognitive
categories by using mathematical category theory. e author denes the intentional
categories of consciousness by using mathematical set theory and obtains a selfrepresentational
higher-order theory of consciousness (SHOT). Finally, he combines
the intentional and non-intentional categories with an algebraic topography and
obtains a model of the mind.
