Light-colour sense dimensions

Abstract

The article reflects light–colour phenomena functioning in prerational human experiences and their essential characteristics are being sought. Light–colour experiences are revealed through the sense paradigm and phenomenological intuitions: direct-life and eidetic essences. The unique light–colour sense is associated with the spiritual depths of a human being, the field illuminated by consciousness, transcendence dissemination, creative forces and the openness of sacrality dimensions. The sense is granted the metacategory status and an integral feature to include all great continuum of direct human experiences. The article analyses M. Heidegger’s concept of sense, J. Mureika’s concept of sense and presents the levels of sense structure.
The light–colour sense means the following: the light of consciousness – creation work – love – beauty – fullness – sacrality. While searching for clean givens in the light–col­our sense, the original qualities of the world, a strong sense of beauty and holiness is found. The light–colour syncretic experience includes one of the sense modalities. The conclusion is as follows: the multidimensional structure of the sense covers subcon­scious, conscious and superconscious dimensions and participates in founding values; the light–colour sense vividly unfolds at the level of sensitive symbols and in the sense of sacrality; most of this experience remains unspoken.
