Modern bilinç gittikçe artan oranda tek yönlü olarak saldırıya uğramakta ve savunulmaktadır. Modern bilinç gittikçe artan bir şekilde ?her ikisi de genellikle tek boyutlu olmak kaydıyla? saldırıya uğramakta ve savunulmaktadır. Aslında modern bilinç insanoğlu için bir çok olumsuzluk sonuç içermekle birlikte önemli yararlı etkilere de sahiptir. Ayrıca gerçekleşmemiş, ama büyük ölçüde olumlu bir çok potansiyele de sahiptir. Eğer modern bilincin olumsuz yönlerini yenmek ve olumlu potansiyellerini gerçekleştirmek istiyorsak, tarzımızı temelden dönüştürmemiz gerekmektedir. Bu makale, bilgi hakkındaki dominant modern varsayımların olumsuz sonuçlarını incelemekte ve bilgi yoll arımızın olumsuzluğun ötesine aktarılması, modern bilincin, olumlu yönlerini gerçekleştirecek şekilde temelden dönüştürülmesi için neler yapılması gerektiğini ele almaktadır.

Opening the Gates of Knowledge

Öz

Modern consciousness has been increasingly attacked and defended, both often in one-sided ways. Modern consciousness has, indeed, had many negative consequences for the human being, and, paradoxically, at the same time, profound beneficial effects, and contains unrealized, but far-reaching, positive potentials. A fundamental transformation of our ways of knowing is required if the negative aspects of modern consciousness are to be overcome and the positive potentials to be realized. This article examines the negative consequences of dominant modern assumptions about knowing, and what would be required for a fundamental transformation of our ways of knowing that would move beyond the negative and toward the realization of the positive aspects of modern consciousness.

Anahtar Kelimeler

• Knowledge, Epistemology, Modern Assumptions, Evolution of Consciousness.
