Contemplation as a lytic form of the person’s sense sphere regulation

Abstract

The article considers contemplation as an integral part of mental life and a form of the person’s sense sphere regulation, as a spontaneous-sense control in resolving intrapersonal conflicts, a certain function of finding or parting, transformation or correction of certain senses or the person’s sense sphere as a whole. The author shows that contemplation can’t be reduced to perceptual, attentional, mnemonic and other cognitive, affective and intensional states. Contemplation is a special state of consciousness, and it correlates with a relevant mental phenomenon which is potentially displayed in forms of the subject’s feature, state, and process.
