mesofüüsiline

Mesofüüsiline refers to a concept primarily found in Scandinavian literature and philosophy, particularly in the works of Swedish writer and thinker Lars Gustafsson. It describes a state of being that exists between the purely physical and the purely mental or spiritual. It is not simply the body, nor is it solely consciousness or the mind, but rather a bridge or an intermediate realm where the two intersect and inform each other.

This concept suggests that human experience is not reducible to either a materialist or an idealist explanation. Instead, mesofüüsiline acknowledges a dimension where subjective experience, perception, and the physical world are intricately interwoven. It highlights the way our bodies are not just objects in the world but also the very instruments through which we perceive and interact with it, shaping our understanding and awareness.

The mesofüüsiline can be understood as the realm of embodied subjectivity, where the "self" is not a disembodied mind but a being that is simultaneously physical and aware. It emphasizes the qualitative aspects of experience, such as how it feels to be in a particular place, to sense a certain temperature, or to have a specific bodily sensation, and how these sensations contribute to our overall conscious existence. It offers a way to think about the relationship between the objective reality and our subjective engagement with it, suggesting a more nuanced and integrated view of human existence.
