written by Jeremy Horne PhD
Identity location occurs by reductionism (such as neurocorrelation and DNA) or wholism (qualitative methods like phenomenology). Regardless, philosophy underpins finding and characterizing one’s identity. Metaphysical barriers prevent “absolute” discovery, and we are forced to bootstrap (as do logicians and mathematicians), using ontology and epistemology to support our quests. Previous articles explained the Cartesian (reductionist/quantitative) method (one being neurogeometry), so the balance is achieved here by qualitative means, exemplified by Russell W. Belk, Donald Brown, and, overall, phenomenology. 49 Pages
