What is described here is, however, only the beginning of or the path to the subject-oriented way of thinking, which, it is hoped, can be further presented later.
This paper is concerned mainly with giving the background to a general outline to human knowledge and thinking - the subject-oriented (subjectivist’s) approach - which neither divides mind from matter, the observer from the observed nor the subject from the object. When instead using a subject-oriented approach to knowledge we will in one strike remove the bewildering Cartesian dualism, the troublesome chasm between the natural sciences and humanities and open the door for a science of consciousness.
Here the claim is advanced that when we abandon the realist’s doctrine we are able to remove many imperfections. The knowledge feedback paths of human brain is one reason and the ”inside” features of qualia another. Even if partly successful the classical realistic (or Newtonian) approach to science is bound to fail because of this restricted perspective. The problem of consciousness cannot consistently be approached from the third person's perspective – less well known is that neither can any other scientific problem.
