the basic proposition is that thinking is not feeling. thinking terminates in feeling and feeling terminates in thinking. the total unity of theoretical and practical life was seen to be impossible by hegel himself:
>The absolute Idea has turned out to be the identity of the theoretical and the practical Idea. Each of these by itself is still one-sided, possessing the Idea only as a sought for beyond and an unattained goal; each, therefore, is a synthesis of endeavour, and has, but equally has not, the Idea in it; each passes from one thought to the other without bringing the two together, and so remains fixed in their contradiction.https://www.marxists.org/reference/archive/hegel/works/hl/hlabsolu.htmeach exist in contradiction to one another.
my criticism of empiricism is the socratic argument of rememberance. in plato's phaedo, socrates explains that knowing is not discovering, but simply remembering what was forgotten. therefore, knowledge is complete in itself, but unconscious. i concur with this because to me, there is no mind greater than another, even if one may reason better than another. reason is travel, knowledge is a destination. this is why reason also ends in knowledge, where the idea encircles its singularity.
my criticism of rationalism is that to me, the highest truth is not thinking, but is feeling. to feel is to be, while thought is the process of unbecoming. thus, i see life as feeling, mediated by thinking. thinking is a means, and cannot be grasped as its own end. religion teaches us this, where the purpose of mind is knowledge, but the enlightened mind is empty of thought. thus, truth is feeling, while knowledge is only a remembrance of itself.
the paradigm is then a genuine dualism, where the mind and body exist apart from one another. they have no unity, but only temporary intercourse in life.
