Synaesthesia as Phenomenon of Consciousness: Psychological and Philosophic Analysis

Abstract

The modal version of consciousness organization presuming
 the interpretation of all its functions and elements as moods, i.e. projections of one and the same ability or entity, is considered in this paper. As evidence in favor of this version, demonstrations of synaesthesia or intermodal translation are analyzed. Synaesthesia is interpreted as phenomenon indicating the primary premodal matrix of perception or amodal semantic code that not differentiated onto aural, visual, tactile, or other modalities.
