Conceptual Systems - an Attempt at System Noetics / Discover Yourself

J. Janata

Current failure to disprove skeptical and agnostical notions in philosophy leads to the conclusion that reality is the main target of our intellectual effort, but it is directly inaccessible in its absolute essence. We have therefore no option but to approach it by subjective means. Therefore even philosophy cannot build on objectivist, dogmatic notions, but on subjectivism and relativism, and understand reality not as a source but as a target or main direction of our intellectual effort.
This notion is developed into system noetics, which understands thinking as controlling of a conceptual system by its subject, where the subject creates and controls this conceptual system to achieve desired results, especially cognition of reality and realization of desired goals.
From this notion a system of categories and principles may be derived, which treats both cognitive and volitive functions in a new manner. On these foundations the author builds a new original theory of truth and rightness, both subjective and objective, and creates a corresponding classification of sciences and orders. It declares noetics as a science examining the manner of controlling of the CS by its subject, especially its structure and behavior and its functionality related to the desired tasks.
In this sense this work describes only the basic application of these principles in noetics, because further elaboration is according to the principles of subjectivity and relativity in the realm of other subject and their executive conceptual systems.
