What makes an individual being individual? What are the elements that are shared by all beings and what are the distinctive features that can be ascribed to this being only and not to others? An answer to these questions is of utmost importance especially for such a being as person. As we have seen the solution here is crucial for Newman, for it decides about our notional or real cognition. Person is a human being, one of many other human beings, when we consider his shared features. Nevertheless, “what the individual thing is above and beyond its universally conceivable nature is its exclusive and immediate property.” In other words there is infinitely more to the person than his shared properties, therefore “individuality as such has been designated as noncommunicability.”1 I have already written about individuality that is attendant on each individual being as such, irrespective of his capability of expression.

In Chapter 2 I sought to characterise Newman’s theory of knowledge in the concrete, i.e. how we come to assent in our daily experience and whether we can accomplish certitude. His principal position was that of “metaphysics in the singular,” in which selfhood rises to the point of being the main cognitive centre. Therefore, Newman uses such terms as personal result, cogitative method. This centre is, at the same time, very unsteady and unreliable, for it is the living centre of the human being that undergoes all the contingencies of the living entity, but at the same time the only one we have immediate access to. We have to use ourselves, however, all these shortcomings— hesitations, prejudices, uncertainties, weaknesses— notwithstanding. In one of his sermons, Newman characterises our existential situation. He writes that people willingly follow their inclinations, “they are guided by pleasure and pain, not by reason, principle, or conscience; and they do not attempt to interpret this world, to determine what it means, or to reduce what they see and feel to system. But when persons, either from thoughtfulness of mind, or from intellectual activity, begin to contemplate the visible state of things into","PeriodicalId":322433,"journal":{"name":"<i>Heart Speaks unto Heart</i>","volume":"13 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116241833","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
