1. CONCENTRATES. NEW PHILOSOPHICAL CONCEPTS FOR EVERYDAY LIFE Print

In order to be successful in the environment, you need to know reality. Naturally, the question arises as to how much this reality is known for us. Is there another reality beyond this reality? The question remains open. There are several concepts that try to interpret the question of reality in a modern way, and one of them is the theory of concentrates. 1. CONCENTRATES The concentrate theory states that the world is real, but it is subjective to us because we create meanings, values, norms, etc., thus creating concentrates that are not empty simulacra but significant and meaningful, concentrated structures of reality that function in both the external and internal human worlds. The meaning arises from the inner person’s world, i.e. experiences, feelings, thoughts that exist within a person and are concentrated towards certain significant meanings. A real stimulus from the outside “shakes” the concentrate and it floods the person with thoughts, feelings, changes in the behavior, communication style, perception of the world. Therefore, there are no simulacra. Simulacra are concentrates. If we imagine that the simulacrum is empty, then it should not exist. A filled simulacrum, which we call a concentrate, must have its inner charm, its appeal in order to remain in the human ontological field. As a result, a nice-concentrate gets formed.
