Whats a Noumenon ?
Okay. First, What's a Phenomenon ?
A Phenomenon is anything that can be seen or observed. Now-a-days it is used mostly in a exclamatory style like -
Ipod is a phenomenon.
A Phenomenal Hit
etc.,
But, anything and everything that can be seen or observed is indeed a phenomenon.
Now, what's a noumenon can be answered better.
A noumenon simply is anything which cannot be observed or seen - something abstract - an object of human mind, enquiry or cognition.
But, the really significant point is,
Isn't everything an object of human cognition.
Wikipedia explains better the term
I see a table. It's a phenomenon.
But I cognize the table first. That's what I call or term as Seeing. So it's a noumenon too.
Similarly with a computer or any object for that matter.
So what's the point I want to focus here on ?! What is my objective in this place - Blog ?!
Simply to go rambling about the noumena and the phenomena. But Usefully. Thats all.

Keep coming here.
