Subject:  A Cosmology of the Spirit -Reply


Is it possible to establish the "objective role of thinking matter" ?
By thinking about it?  Thought affecting cosmology doesn't seem
likely to me.  The only way I can "make sense" of Ilyenkov is as a
poetical phantasmagoria, as he calls it.  Then it doesn't have to
make sense, but it's not what I would call science. 
Phantasy-science-fiction, yes, or the religious-science of
cosmological telekinesis in a fictional culture in a novel.  That
would be good.
