Intentionality, phenomenality, and light

James G Hart

pp. 59-82

The light metaphor seems inescapable in our description of the appearing of things in the world. Indeed an elemental sense of things appearing is their coming forth into the light or their becoming visible or luminous. Since ancient times this has motivated an analogy between mind and light. In this paper I want to review some of the issues, especially the special place self-consciousness has in a meditation on appearings and light.
