By Schubert Ogden
The Notebooks of Schubert Ogden
X can be credibly (or truly) said to be the ontic pole of a decisive revelation or re-presentation of the meaning of ultimate reality for us if, and only if, the following two conditions are fulfilled:
1.
X is taken by Y, functioning as the noetic pole of the revelation or representation, as making explicit a certain possibility of self-understanding; and
2.
the possibility of self-understanding that Y takes X as making explicit is, in truth, our authentic possibility as human beings (as determined by properly metaphysical and moral arguments respectively).
